Dumb Spark
In a tourist trap on the edge of a desert I got a room, I burned the letters Signed the last one ?yours forever? There?s a part of me that I won?t correct It keeps me in these places Pleas and graces don?t connect Where all my friends are faithless Whatever it was that I lost to your lips Your hungry skin, and your kindness Was all that I had Wherever you keep the feeling behind Our fumbling in the blindness I hope you go back, I hope you go back Canceled checks and overdrafts A lover leaves, the other laughs Ten years leave the taste of smoke I can?t wait to get the joke A dumb spark finds the fuel again Lights an arc of innocence Plans dependent on the past Get the match and the hardest laughs Whatever it was, it was all that I had Wherever you are, I can?t go back
