Album: No Such Place
Where in the world did you come from my dear?
Did some mysterious voice tell you I'd still be here? I bought this ticket to Mobile, but I been stranded all daypa said the bus broke down ten miles away from the station
So seldom a doorso seldom a keyso seldom a lock like the love between you and me But seldom comes happiness without the pain of the devil in the details since I saw the smile on your face as I was crying in a Greyhound station on Christmas Dayin 1998
The burden of love is the fuel of bad grammar
You stutter and stammer--what a bitch to convey the crux of the matter, when the words you must utter are hopelessly tangled in the memories and scars you show no one So seldom a doorso seldom a keyso seldom a hit like the hurt you put on me
But seldom comes happiness without the pain of the devil in the details since I saw the smile on your face as I was crying in a Greyhound station on Christmas Dayin 1998 I remember quite clearly, a bad Muzak version of James Taylor's big hit, called "Fire and Rain" was playing as you crouched down and tearfully kissed me, and I thought, "Damn, what good fiction I will mold from this terrible pain" So seldom a doorso seldom a keyso seldom a gift like the gift you gave me But seldom comes happiness without the pain of the devil in the details since I saw the smile on your face as I was crying in a Greyhound station on Christmas Dayin 1998 Amazing grace, how sweet the smile upon the face I never thought I'd see you againespecially here in this Greyhound stationon Christmas Dayin 1998
