a pocket book full of medicine
head turned down as she exits
and who would read this footnote inked in lower case
she sees his face
he doesn't turn away
and life begins at the top
a roadsign for the lost
life begins at the top
God damn the clock
like a diamond laying there waiting
they're too backward to just bend down and take it
so what good is the simple life if you're lonely
so he takes her hand so slowly
(chorus)
they take their steps on the new road
they don't know why or where to go
and the world that pushed them
like sawdust into nowhere land
resets the hands
and lets them in again
(chorus)
