Lindsay Fuller - One Can Only Hope lyrics

Time ago in Ma**achusetts Saw you in a dying birch tree Swinging from the branches like a noose Hid our love inside the woodpile Slow-danced in the sunken garden Parted ways and I ain't seen you since Amtrak train bound for Penn station Leaking from my eyes and ink pen Praying Casey Jones will take me home I'm wondering if you've met regret Or if she's tried to kiss you yet Or maybe make you second-guess your own flesh and bone One can only hope Tennessee in mid-November Sour milk, asbestos shingles Ready me for winter's loneliness I'm looking hard now for a sign A hymnal with a broken spine Entrails perfectly aligned, you never really know One can only hope Hidden in an Austin motel Hunched over a plywood table Writing words I'm never gonna send But maybe if I start to sing They'll float along what might have been As buoyant as original sin and find their way to you One can only hope One can only hope
