Sometimes I crave a melody, sometimes I search for rhyme
Sometimes another beer before the bell at closing time
I met her when we both were younger, far away from this place
A fiery way about her, a stern and frantic grace
Sometimes I write a song I know that I will never sing
A word that can't be spoken, a bell that will not ring
She never quite believed in me, she dealt in numbers and proof
I said “my dear, all that we'll need are three chords and the truth”
We listened to those sad songs and drank all through the night
Spoke of all those yesterdays and fought the dying light, fought the dying light
I always manage to find a way out of my mind
A way out of my mind
I quoted old time writers and spoke in poetry
She said “your words and your pretty verse won't pay my bills for me”
All sitting down and counting cash and things she wanted for me
A spinning cog within some grand and hideous machine
She spoke to me of bravery and never risked a thing
A chirping, strutting songbird who'll never spread her wings
I'd rather place a dream atop a house of playing cards
Than never stray from those trusted roads in case the ground got hard
We listened to those sad songs and drank all through the night
Spoke of all those yesterdays and fought the dying light, fought the dying light
I always manage to find a way out of my mind
A way out of my mind
There's not much worse than birdsong when you should be tucked up in your bed
All her fears and her warnings went a-racing through my head
She may not now remember all that I will not forget
The hardest way to say goodbye is in silence, with regret
We parted when we both were younger before the seeds were sown
The heroes of a story that no one will ever know
Sometimes I write a song I know that I will never sing
A word that can't be spoken, a bell that will not ring
