Laid To Rest

Finally the tether breaks on Tuesday night I ring

He says we can get together, but he's staying in

One more night, inside, I mean you have to do what feels right

But in the morning light its cold, its cold, it's so cold

Please let me stay, please let me stay

But he's trying to get me out the door in his diplomatic way

I had speeches, I had scenes

Now I have quiet memories and the occasional dream

I've laid to rest my craziness

for today today today...

I'm bleeding like a soldier

Into your pint of pride

A pack of straights and a corner seat

This was the last time I cried

Why could you only be a man

When you had a drink in your hand?

One more night inside

And more for the road

I had speeches, I had scenes

Now I have quiet memories and the occasional dream

I've laid to rest my craziness

for today today today....

Finally the tether breaks on Tuesday night I ring

He says baby we can get together, but he's staying in

One more night, inside, I mean you have to do what feels right

But in the morning light its cold, its cold
