I pick up a broken comb

Run it through my thin grey hair

Though I don't have any plans tonight

I'm not going anywhere

Well I should've seen this coming

Don't know why I'm surprised

Every vessel on its way down

Takes with it the captain's life

Though I'm blind my dear I see

The parade goes on without me

My body aches my mind it weeps

For you for you

Tonight I'm locked outside my building

Guess I must have lost the keys

So I'll sit here on the sidewalk

Let the snow fall on my knees

And if I made it to a payphone

I don't know who I would call

So for now I close my eyes and rest

My crooked back against the wall

I read that old men will see visions

Young men will follow dreams

I believed it when I read it

I see your face in everything

Now your honey jars are frozen

In the window your books have browned

And there's too much room inside our bed

I think I'll join you in the ground

Though I'm blind my dear I see

Let the chorus sing without me

My body breaks my mind it sleeps

With you
