Old River fire-pit
Smell of the smoke by the chains I bit
We speak with confidence
On phantom tails of “it might have been’s”
So throw me the rope
Throw me then send me home
Cold-Creek fire pit
Smell of the flint by the flame I lit
You don’t know the half of it
The chemical change and the singeing skin
Just leave it alone
Just leave it and send me
Train track road, coal
Flippin’ between the rock n’ roll
Until the wheels be tumbling
We crashed where the hills and the tunnel meet
I’m leaving the road
I’m leaving the pavement alone
Just leave it alone
Just leave it and send me home
Cold-creek water pit
Carbon escape from the bubble-lips
The mind gets tipsy
Under the strain of unconsciousness
So throw me the rope
Throw me the rope, I know
Just leave it alone
Just leave it and send me home
Just leave it alone
Just leave it and send me
I’m healing the bone
I’m healing so send me home.
