lyrics

it’s not that i’m blind
it’s just that i can’t see you
for my eyes are obscured by
my own point of view
i have traveled the world
with nothing to do
but to search for those stories
that will never be true
and repaint the town in every hue
you twisted my turnstile
you said you’d set me free
i’d like to pretend like
you understood me
but something you said
reminds me again
that you’re searching
but you’ll never see
and your prison is what you believe
but now we are sleeping
while the crocuses grow
i walk through the garden
with my childhood feet in the snow
i showed him my feathers
he put one in his cap
he saw the whole thing
as a minor mishap
one side of the story
or something like that
and with broken bones
he sent me home
he wouldn’t even answer the phone
but now we are sleeping
while the crocuses grow
he said there’s things
that i’m keeping, darlin’
but you, you’ve got to go
and out in north dakota
a hundred men died on a train
and the nights were so cold
there was nothing i could do
but i wish i could see you again
