作词 : Tamara Lindeman 作曲 : Tamara Lindeman I remember the dry grass of Nebraska, grey to distant blue I stopped on hills like slumping shoulders; car cooling, I took off my shoes I drove out west with my sister – she talks more than I do When she fell silent, still I’d miss her The sound of the wind coming through I remember the smoky cups of coffee at the continental divide Mesas rose up there beside me. I felt like I’d arrived I walked on the streets of California in the wail of car alarms Men would shout out to me passing, a stranger with crossed arms I remember the subtlety of canyons, black by the roadside A cut in the rocks as I was passing, just a glimpse as you go by If there’s something you always are choosing – you may not recognise If there’s something you always are loosing – something disguised Lately I find myself lonely – I wouldn’t have called it that before I always took it as a comfort – what all the distance was for If you can’t leave clean as a statement – so true that you almost wince If you can’t leave, you get yourself taken – like a personal eclipse
