Grey Eye Glances Follow

under the eave i felt alone
when october came, i'd made it on my own
i wrote some stories to get through
i'd date each page and start them off to you
the one thing that i never could admit
the signs i gave in letters that i'd sent in a row
it seems the city simply waits
she gently warms my feet through rusty grates
flowers painted on brick walls
well that is why i knew i had to call
have you grown up so very fast
how many dreams got through the cracks, and you know
before you go
before you stay
before you turn around
and say that it's o.k.
i'd really love to see you smile
and do some living for a while
maybe i could rent a car
boston really doesn't sound that far
we could both drive up to Maine
it's april now, that usually means rain
my life is like the manuals that i bind
if you know a way to take me from the grind you could so
'cause when i close my eyes at night
trying hard not to remember it
dreaming up a thousand lies
to justify the means
so take me by the hand
and everything will start again
don't say you understand
we haven't that much time you know
before you go
before you stay
before you turn around
and face another day
let's go build our way to freedom
in the mountains of New England
for a while
live in style
i know you think i'm crazy
but life is much too hazy
think it through
think it through
