Short Road

Parlor Hawk
Oh, it's clear now, to me,
How lonely the road can be
When you're on your own,
When you're on your own
My mind escapes, to a better hole;
A place, a reason not to leave;
A reason I don't need
'Til then I'm on my own,
I'm on my own
'Til then I'm all alone,
I'm all alone
Sure, the road sometimes is long
And I've been waiting to hear my heart on my thumb
I've been waiting to hear my heart within anyone
And in the pain
Of having faith in something I've never known,
Something I've never known,
Something I've never known
Broken memory makes it hard to see,
A thousand reasons not to stay, to leave
There were times that I was taught to think,
But my thoughts they crippled me
And now I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm all alone,
I'm all alone
Sure, the road sometimes is long
And I've been waiting to hear my heart on my thumb
I've been waiting to hear my heart within anyone
Within anyone
Within anyone
Within anyone
