I'm in the car, I just needed to clear my head She's in the house, with the baby crying on the bed She's got this thing, where she puts up the wall so high It doesn't matter how much you love, it doesn't matter how hard you try We got a place, with a fence and a little grass I put this film on the windows and it looks like chapel glass But when she turns, it's like the shadow of the cross don't cast No blessing over our lonely life, it's like waiting for a train to pass I don't know when it'll pass, but I remember when she used to set the room on fire With her eyes, swear to God It's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a haunted life When she cries, like a tree, it's a lull I dropped the line, to a flickering high school flame We laughed about, all the ways that our lives had changed She's up the road, about thirty-five miles north Got two little boys in school, just had a real bad divorce And in a moment of weakness, I told her if she ever needed a helping hand I would lend, swear to God It's like a part of me, that's screaming not to jump It's lost in the sound, of the train It's a lull It's a lull It's okay Swear to God It's okay Swear to God It's okay Swear to God It's okay Swear to God It's okay Swear to God It's okay Swear to God It's okay Swear to God It's okay
