I prayed heaven today
Would bring its hammer down on me
And pound you out of my head
I canīt think with you in it
I dragged all that I owned
Down a dirt road to find you
My shoes worn out and used
They canīt take me much farther
Something always takes the place
Of missing pieces
You can take and put together even though
You know thereīs something missing
The sun burned a hole in my roof
I canīt seem to fix it
I hope the rain doesnīt come
And wash me down the gutter
She rides in a car like a queen on a card
And the guns of her mind aim a line
Straight at mine to a heart that was broke
Tried to feel but got choked in the smoke of
A desert
A beach with no leisure a night thatīs so blue
Feed the aching in you and the background
Birds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night
Current turns on a lifeboat floating
Down a river of sleep
I canīt see her hollow eyes
Iīm walkin along with my boots full of rocks
I canīt believe these tears were mine
Iīll give them to you to put away in a box
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and put
Together even though
You know thereīs something missing
Something always missing always
Someone missing something
