Greeting Card Aisle

I see twinkling in the window like a sparkle on the snow

Hovering to see if I can see you come and go

I came down the dark road arms under my coat

And my breath is nearly freezing my eyes closed

The car that dropped me off but didn't turn around

And watch me walk the long way down

Past the glow of town like the setting sun

Horizons alive with electric light and hum

Were you standing in the greeting card aisle when you called me up

And held me to the end of your long line?

Have you got me in your bleeding heart file next to lady luck?

Well this light of your life has drawn the blind

There was something about the handwriting that made me keep every scrap

Something about the way the eyes looked away at the last

And I left something burning on the sill real low

But now I don't know

Were you standing in the greeting card aisle when you called me up

And held me to the end of your long line?

Have you got me in your bleeding heart file next to lady luck?

Well this light of your life has drawn the blind

The wind from the river will swirl like a scream and wrap itself around you

There may be a friend somewhere down the road but from here you have to walk it out alone

'Cause you were standing in the greeting card aisle when you called me up

And held me to the end of your long line

And you've got me in your bleeding heart file next to Lady luck

And this light of your life will not shine twice

This light has drawn the blind
