Lyrics

There are four white walls in every damn hotel
A light by the bed, stains on the floor
And it's here I would wait out the storm
Killing time on the fringes again
Before the leaving
Before the leaving
There are big trucks that wind and I trade them four ours
Side by side we pass through towns we'll never seen
And it's here I would wait out the storm
Killing time on the fringes again
Before the leaving
Before the leaving
There are red velvet seats in the windowless rooms
A curtain to draw and faces to please
And it's here I would wait out the storm
Killing time on the fringes again
Before the leaving
Before the leaving
Tarmac the friend, fortress the fate
Scarlett red leaves, cobble stone streets
The city the field, the channel the cape
Smell of cold smoke, tunnels through slate
It's all brought us back
Now there' wood that you stacked and it's on our front porch
And it's staring me down and it tells me you left
