A FAIR MILE

FEE AND I LEFT THE REST IN THEIR BEDS AND WE WENT NOW I COULDN'T BE FURTHER AWAY FURTHER AWAY FROM THE TOWN AND MY INTENTIONS ARE GOOD BUT THEY'RE NOTHING WITHOUT SOME STRENGTH I CAN BUILD A FAIR FIRE BUT THE RAIN ALWAYS SNUFFS THAT THING OUT BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO CRY BUT THE WAY THAT WE CRY AND THERE'S NO WAY TO LAUGH THAN THE WAY THAT WE LAUGH THERE'S NO WAY TO WALK BUT THE WAY THAT WE WALK BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO LEAVE CAUSE THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO ANYMORE GOD THEY LOCKED ALL YOUR CHURCHES THEY NAILED ALL THESE OLD DOORS SHUT COULD YOU SPEAK TO THEM PLEASE WE ALL NEED SHELTER SOMETIMES MEANWHILE I WRITE TO MY WIFE LYING ABOUT THE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE BUT YOU KNOW I'D CONFESS IT TO YOU IF I COULD ONLY GET INSIDE I THOUGHT I WAS LOST BUT I WAS NEVER MORE FOUND I THOUGHT I WAS HIGH BUT THE FALL BROUGHT ME DOWN I THOUGHT I WAS NUMB BUT SENSATION REMAINS I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE BUT THE PAIN'S STILL THE SAME NO THE PAIN HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL
