It doesn’t bear to think about
Maybe better we found out
But I’d just as soon’ve died in your arms
Singing Swedish cowboy songs
Honey, but it won’t be long
A little time away would do no harm
I was thinking maybe I’d get sober
Take a trip up north, embrace the cold
Lean into the loneliness, the solitude, the emptiness
This living young is getting old
Waiting for a morning train
Half my belongings in the rain
Trying to leave behind the pain and fear
I heard about a working ship
Down by the Gibraltar strip
I think I could finally disappear
Maybe feel the rush of starting over
Without heaven or man to belt me down
Maybe use a different name
Still changing, still the same
Let you know when I come back in town
Spun, blindfolded and skinned
Untethered, thrown to the wind
Got no way to reason it out,
Wouldn’t know where to begin
Where would I hope to found
No such thing as holy ground
Just learn to gravitate on a sound
Look up at the moon and stars
Maybe I should go to Mars
Find another lonely spinning stone
Or maybe join a whaling ship
Up around the Bering strip
Leave behind everything I’ve known
Or maybe I’ll get sober
Take a trip up north, embrace the cold
Lean into the loneliness, the solitude, the emptiness
This living young is getting old
