Capo 5th, Standard Tuning
[Verse 1]
Hair blowing in the hot wind,
Time hanging from a clothespin
There s no sorrow that the sun s not gonna
heal
[Verse 2]
I smell the leather of your new car
Drive through the desert after nightfall
Sleep on the shoulder, keep the stars all to ourselves
[Verse 3]
The kind of love that makes my back hurt
Wearing nothing but a t-shirt
She s turning over on a mattress made of air
I close my eyes I see a staircase
Leading upwards into blank space
All of creation makes a sound too soft to hear
[Chorus]
So I remain between her legs
Sheltered from all my fears
While bikers glide by highway shrines
Where pilgrims disappear
[Verse 4]
I know that trouble s been your good friend
Kept you company on the weekends
Kept you company even once your mind was made
Said it s over and it s finished
Now a headache is all you re left with
We re no different I got debts I d like to pay
[Verse 5]
We should move to Sausalito
Living s easy on a house boat
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep
In the morning with the sunrise
Look in the water see the blue sky
As if heaven has been laid there at our feet
[Chorus]
So we remain between these waves
Sheltered for all our years
While bikers glide by highway shrines
Where pilgrims disappear
Where time takes icebergs
Where fields burn westward
Where pilgrims disappear
