Rust In a Tin Can Lyrics

Rust In a Tin Can

Outside a radio

Is calling your name

A song from long ago

Cooler than rain

That voice you first heard

A forlorn songbird

Who forced the air from your lungs

One note's suspension

Gliding on tension

You felt your heart come undone

You found a memory

Shrouded in pain

A foreign chemistry

Traversing your brain

That thought you wrote down

You thought would sink and drown

Will now appear in your face

Rust in a tin can

Eats its container and

It's no different in this case

You flew across the sea

To stare at your past

You found the energy

To walk the line you were cast

That land you dreamed of

Felt like a new love

Like every sonnet you've read

If only songbirds

Could have the last word

You'd have such peace in your head
