You're the Song

It’s been a long time since I saw you last
The sky is law along the land
I’m traveling light through the longest night
My guitar in my hand
I lie down behind the speaker stacks
Hungry for a little grace
Would you still lay a table for me
Would you set me a place
Away in a distant room I find
Away in the back of my mind
There is a radio on
And you’re the song
I have to strain to listen
I can’t even hear the words
Now the audience is coming in
All that’s left is the chords
Chord 1 thinks the world revolves around him
Chord 6 is beautiful and blue
Chord 5 is cheap, but at least he keeps
Me coming back to you
Coming back to you
Away in a distant room I find
Away in the back of my mind
There is a radio on
And you’re the song
Pack my guitar out a bar somewhere
Wondering what I’m going to do
I lean the case on the fire escape and listen for you
Away in a distant room I find
Away in the back of my mind
There is a radio on
And you’re the song
