Two Towns from Me

Remember the world

Living in the half

That you cannot see

Been walking a line

The thinning tide

And stepping in too deep

Watching water thread my sleeve

What did I pull from underneath

We'll tie it down

Wait it out

Hope our memories hold

A lead-white nail

Driven down

A hundred years ago

Feeling wheels on my old road

Feeling bought for what I sold

I had a dream you were two towns from me

Got to sleep, spent the whole night running

Diving gulls

Wet their breath

And live in between

Hollow bones

Knowing both

What they want and what they need

How I want that mystery

Let me dive 'til I believe

I had a dream you were two towns from me

Got to sleep, spent the whole night, whole night

Had a dream we were nothing more than

Caught up in our own lives, honey
