Will she come back to be with her only love?
I see Rhett but I wonder where Ellie's gone
I breathe a slow song, but my eyes don't match
The rhythm of that push and pull
What if she made a deal with some bloke
And sold our heads for a chance to feel her pockets spill?
Oh, the relief to see my daughter beat
Dirt drums with the beads falling off from the sway
And if you let down
I'm automatic sworn by blood and oath
And if you come round
I'm in my head swinging from a wedding bell
What have I given up by lighting the road?
The shock from my beam sent them flailing
And I know I feel no prophet hanging from my bones
I need some peace and quiet
And you to leave my mind
No, I never let you down
What if she made a fool of me now?
With kin left to march towards Tell Megiddo
Oh, the relief to see my sons hands wave
While blurting out the effects of a sun now slept
And if you let down
I'm automatic sworn by blood and oath
And if you come round
I'm in my head a fabric whipping in the wind
What have I given up by lighting the road?
The shock from my beam sent them flailing
And I know I feel no prophet hanging from my bones
