lyrics

Blacktop switches
To sand rocks and red clay
Gullies in the road where the storms run off

Muddy water
Downhill into your lake
Little deltas where the soil is extra soft

Clouds of cream and pearl and gold
Vapors trapped in glass
Purple martin on a telephone wire
Waiting for the heat to pass

Look through your window
Birds and summer storms
Whitecaps rising higher
Goosebumps on your arms

Silver wings
White sails on the water
Something cooking or a suitcase on the floor

Carolina son
California daughter
Trips from coast to coast and shore to shore

Wind or road or wave
Or stand beneath the clock
The dog's at the kennel or she's under the couch
Listening for the door to knock

Look past the horizon
Farther than the blue
Oil the hinges in that door
They've got things to do

You don't care about the distance
The location or weather
You want to see those smiling faces
When your love's together

Blue sneakers
Underneath turquoise lines
Fast eyes turn wet with happy tears

Finger pointing
In the air at the punch line
Best joke you've heard for years and years

Laugh and laugh and squint those eyes
Like sidelong crescent moons
It's beyond your control now
And they'll just have to make room

Look through that narrow space
All the eyes you've known
Are looking right back through at you
Feeling less alone
