Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Steam rises from the silver pot It's the only friend I've really got Worn linens on a Formica tray Counting minutes 'til the break of day The Rhodes piano hums a low tune Underneath a tired, paper moon [Pre-Chorus] The neon sign flickers on the wall Waiting for a heavy rain to fall I'm polishing a ceramic ghost The girl I used to love most [Chorus] Oh, let the slide guitar moan I’m tired of being this alone It wasn't love that broke my heart Just the fear to finally make a start The highway’s humming like a choir Fueling up a brand new fire One more mug, one more plate Before I walk through that iron gate [Post-Chorus] Wait for the spark In the deep dark Yeah, wait for the spark I’m leaving the dark [Verse] I remember when the train rolled by Black smoke painted on a purple sky I had a ticket tucked inside my shoe But I stayed here for a view of blue Now the harmonica begins to bleed Telling me exactly what I need [Chorus] Oh, let the slide guitar moan I’m tired of being this alone It wasn't love that broke my heart Just the fear to finally make a start The highway’s humming like a choir Fueling up a brand new fire One more mug, one more plate Before I walk through that iron gate [Bridge] The keys are heavy in my pocket now I’m making an unspoken vow Mmm, the grease and salt and grime I’ve served my sentence, I’ve done my time No more pouring refills for the dead I’m chasing down the ghosts inside my head [Verse] The sun is bleeding through the glass Watching all the early workers pass I set the rag on the counter top This is where the spinning has to stop I don't need a map or star Just the keys to my beat-up car [Chorus] Oh, let the slide guitar moan I’m tired of being this alone It wasn't love that broke my heart Just the fear to finally make a start The highway’s humming like a choir Fueling up a brand new fire One more mug, one more plate Before I walk through that iron gate [Post-Chorus] Wait for the spark In the deep dark Yeah, wait for the spark I’m leaving the dark [Outro]
