Cub Country - The Salt Islands lyrics

Theres a lone stone house Down the desert culdesac A fathers hands made alone The families names are carved in the cement Where the pine trees stood Its a brand new neighborhood Everything they made Is worn and torn away Theres a swimming hole Down near the gravel pit People dare to jump in So you went first And when i took my turn You were gone Without a trace or sound I swam on Pretending i was fine Historys no mystery Where it stop from you to me There are never words left to explain And my days turn to nights And you disappear from sight And i lost all of your things along the way Theres a truck outside Waiting in the pouring rain Just to drive away From a mothers tears Shes held on to for years You'll blow into the night The rest of your life To follow through (?) You have never seen You have faith and you have hope That all you've known is not just smoke That rises up and rolls out through the trees And they'll lose their leaves As the seasons pleas To show the year has died and gone away Long nights With no starlight Traffic chokes of the west side Radio is singing for you alone As you leave this world behind Theres a light that shines Down from the empire state Reaches all across town Puts people in On a spoon made of tin With the promise of some bread And an easy d**h Whatever you could want Whatever you can get Now you know everyone in here Cigarette another beer But when all the barstools are clear Who will blow your fear As it draws so near You turn again away again And disappear
