Dogwood Blossom

Keep climbing into my head without knockin'

And you fix yourself there like a map pin

On this ghost of this street where I'm livin'

I'm in a chrysalis and I'm snowed in

Darling, darling that dam's gonna give

It's inevitable the way that you live

Bottles in brown paper and a mouth that slurs

All the shit that it stirs

Let that dogwood blossom

There'll be hell to pay in heaven

For you take every street home

What happens when you're into deep to break

Loneliness keeps you constantly awake

What happens when the passage of time appears

You see yourself as a child and it brings you to tears

You say that you're troubled and you always have been

Uncomfortable in your own skin

So you contemplate the riverbed

Turn off the dark thoughts in your head

Darling, darling that dam's gonna give

It's inevitable the way that you live

Bottles in brown paper and a mouth that slurs

All the shit that it stirs

Let that dogwood blossom

There'll be hell to pay in heaven

For you take every street home
