lyrics

I must be in a bad kind of way ‘cause I’m leaving December down the 5 interstate trying to
free up my soul, refresh these controls, clean my slate
And true to decision that I barely made I am making a distance with sudden escape like I
fear for my life, I know that my life is at stake

I look at my lap - I’m in Washington state - that’s me on the map drifting out of my lane
But you know I feel so unearthly, misplaced

When I left you I left me there too - the way I’d made me to get on with you
Now there’s nowhere to anchor me to but this teatherless blue

I’m not a stranger to taking up flight oh I do it with ease in my dreams every night where it
don’t cause me pain, I’m up and away out of sight
But we’re never free of the life we explore oh I am when I touch you or walk through your door and now you’re out of reach and I don’t keep your keys anymore

So I’m going away somewhere I can’t be found - at least not as I was with you all around
Three hours out of town I’m still breathing you out

When I left you I left me there too - the way I’d made me to get on with you
Now there’s nowhere to anchor me to but this teatherless blue

And I’d give my right arm to keep new year’s at home if I didn’t need it to drive down this road - deep into west coast cold

When I left you I left me there too - the way I’d made me to get on with you
Now there’s nowhere to anchor me to ...

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
