Only Answer

Mike Doughty
Upon the rails among the weeds

I had a moment of serenity

I saw you stand in all the green

Upon the rusting rail balancing



You were the only answer

My plans spun all around you

Five years in the wrong, I am assured

My name to you is just another word



In your bed in Morristown

You had magazines thrown around

From under them the phone it rang

And in the margin there you wrote the number down



You were the only answer

My plans spun all around you

Five years in the wrong, I am assured

My name to you is just another word, another word, another word



The only answer, another word

The only answer

The only answer

The only answer
