Further away from you

from The Excitable Gift by Stellan Wahlstrom Drift Band

lyrics

There's a rose garden out in front
Going to the edge of the cliff
Stray dogs yawning at me
As I'm stepping out to eat
The hotel looks like a Soviet version
Of the house being blown up in Zabriskie Point
I'm going down the road getting further away from you

Now I've got the church bells in my room
And the geckos doing their one-line croon
Every hour there's another chime
Added to awakeing
Someone's kind and coming with a candle
When all the lights have shorted out
I'm going down the road getting further away from you

We're driving through a town for the first time
Excited by that liking the sight
Knowing we'll never see it again
And that's alright
It's a big bulky car I'm in the backseat
I'm counting the miles from my defeat
I'm going down the road getting further away from you

You needed me so much and you needed so much of me
And now almost nothing at all
It's a relief and it's a new way of being
Hollow and lost
Down the road I'll be going
You won't be there but I didn't think so
I'm going down the road getting further away from you

I said where I'd be and I said when I 'd leave
I heard she asked about me after we met
So I think she might come or I think she might call
Or I think she might give me another thought
Now I'm just waiting for some friends to come
I'm the divorcee they're the married ones
I'm going down the road getting further away from you
Going down the road getting further away from you
Going down the road getting further away from you
