Gone, advice from a side road

And a dying breath and yellow oak

Big tall weeds and leaves of gold

Now; a wasted clock hollow

And I'm not the drowning man you think

Though I flail my arms, I refuse to sink



All I ever wanted was to see

Scottish windows opening for me

It's all I ever needed in the end



I saw you in a store window

Dress the orange window glow

I'm walking down a winding close

The gray evening fell over me

And I saw your face, though fleetingly

As the bus pulled away from me



All I ever wanted was to see

This glimmer in your eyes as they closed on me

It's all I ever needed in the end



You need different boots in this country

I see you through the screen door

Abandoned below in the birch's bough

You left me on the church floor



All I ever wanted was to see

Scottish windows closing as I leave

It's all I ever needed in the end



In the end, in the end

In the end, in the end
