I pick up a broken comb
Run it through my thin gray hair
Though I don't have any plans tonight
I'm not going anywhereWell I should have seen this coming
Don't know why I'm surprised
'Cause every vessel on its way down
Takes with it the captains lifeThough I'm blind, my dear, I see
The parade goes on without me
My body aches, my mind it weeps
For you, for you
Tonight I'm locked outside my building
Guess I must have lost the key
So I'll just sit here on the sidewalk
Let the snow fall on my kneesAnd if I make it to a pay phone
I don't know who i would call
So for now I'll close my eyes and rest
My crooked back against the wallI read that old men will see visions
And young men will follow dreams
And I believed it when I read it
I see you face in everythingAnd now your honey jars are frozen
And in the window, your books have browned
And there's too much room inside our bed
I think I'll join you in the ground
Though I'm blind my dear I see
Let the chorus sing without me
My body breaks, my mind it sleeps
With you, oh oh oh
