Derelict Days Lyrics

Lolling in in impossible washed out white

The Autumn light throbbed and winced

Wide open

Rain came, washed all the buses away

And I could see how it'd be easy to stay

I doubt it

Cuz if we don't already know

There's a vacancy posted at the Whaler's Echo

I wanna take you where you think you'd like to go

And there's just no quelling this

If we stifle it there's no telling where it'll end up

I know

The restraint it takes not to wake you at eight

And the weight of my devotion

Are welcome strains in these derelict days

A break from all the aimless motion

They quartered off the orchard with a chainlink fence

So we put on our shoes and backed your car out of the ditch

Down to the Hudson with a stolen honeycomb

To watch the sun go down behind the condominiums

As if we don't already know

There's a vacancy posted at the Whaler's Echo

I wanna take you where you think you'd like to go

And there's just no quelling this

If we stifle it there's no telling where it'll end up

I know
