Every Time I Read The Words Lyrics

Maybe I should go all the way to know

If things are just as you describe them

Spare the breath between my lips and trace my fingertips

Along a line that leads straight to you

And try all night for drowning, tired eyes

Guided by smoke and black handwriting

And try all night for drowning, tired eyes

And the years still add up and the hair still stands up

Every time I read the words

Drifting I move slow

My eyes pour row from row

And wait and wait until the next one

Don't take too long to write

A curse the fading light

It's hell, I wish that you were here

Try all night for drowning, tired eyes

Guided by smoke and black handwriting

Try all night for drowning, tired eyes

And the years still add up and the hair still stands up

Every time I read the words
