lyrics

Cruel crippling dashes
Flashing on the edge of the orange grove
Five hours of feverish sleep
Beneath a silent television glow
I feel the pain of wasted days
And now it's bending at my bones
You hate the rain but your boots hit the gutters
Every chance ya get
When the river starts to overflow

Cruel crippling dashes
In the drunken corner while the choir sings
Salvation made ya eager for a friend
I should have followed as ya run away
You heeded every sign ya could
And walked against the passing cars
Could it be you're getting rides off to
Somewhere all tropical and far

Oh, do not go
Gently into that good night
In flames the sanctuary drowns
And never mind if the cathedral bells come crashing down
If the congregations found

Cruel crippling dashes
I want to write my apologies in the sky
My only wish involves a bottomless pit
And a bandana tied over my eyes
When curtains closed you wore my clothes
And fluttered gently off to sleep
Closing eyes and a pearl inside
Your golden heart to keep

Oh do not go
Gently into that good night
One for all and all for what
Another handful of stars til the moons having a hard time
Telling down from up

Strangers faces leaving fast as they seem to appear
I guess I could use the company now that you're here
