lyrics

Pull out my guitar
The night is growing old
And I'm here on shaky ground

Somewhere in the dark
Our love is growing cold
And the moon is going down

And I wonder what I'm reaching for
'Cause the trees don't make a sound
But my blood pressure's on the rise

Maybe it's the fine treasure in your eyes

We've been gone so long
Inside our lonesome selves
Well the mailbox overflows

And there's something wrong
With filling up our shelves
When all the while emptiness grows

And I wonder what I'm reaching for
'Cause I know we don't belong
Here underneath the same night skies

Maybe it's the fine treasure in your eyes

Anything worth holding
Cannot be possessed
Tonight your pretty memory
Is resting on my chest

We never seemed to want that much
I guess in fact
We wanted nothing
But the best

Down a secret road
There is a cellphone tower
And the buzzards all roost there

But there's nothing owed
Until the morning hour
When the sun rises in the air

And I wonder what we're reaching for
But there's no time left to spare
When it all shrinks right down to size

Maybe it's the fine treasure in your eyes
