lyrics

His hands lay like two tired lovers in his lap.
Twisting, turning, exchanging warmth instead of words.
His lips were blistered, I saw blood blossom where they cracked
A fleeting moment, the scent of lilacs on the wind.

I made some coffee, felt his eyes upon my jaw
We made some small-talk, he slowly opened on some hinge
No hint of conquest, no urge to pilfer from the well
Just souls outpouring, with all the ease of skippin’ stones.

Goodbye, stranger, goodbye stranger
I wish you all the best
Down the highway, long the biway
Be sure, boy, get some rest.
I ain’t easy, but I ain’t cold.
Come back this way when you’re feelin’ low.

A lonely hunter finds no great valour in the kill
In felling beauty, when human love is not at stake.
His daddy left them, to “fuck around and drink in peace.”
“We’ve turned out all right,” he said, and slowly closed upon some hinge.

BR:
I ain’t easy. But I ain’t cold.
So come back my way when you’re feelin’ low.
I ain’t easy. But I ain’t cold. Come back my way, come back home. Goodbye, stranger.
