A HOME AWAY FROM HOME AWAY FROM HOME
(co-written with Jesse Elliott of These United States, featuring J Tom Hnatow on pedal steel)

It is there where the cold meets the cracks in your coat,
and the angels in snow take the interstate row,
and the manger is full so you reshoulder your load.
It is there
you will find me
a home away from home.

There is nothing so small as a traveler alone.
There are many lights at the crossroads and only one that means go.
But the curve at the end of the sky bends just so.
It is there
you will find me
a home away from home.

It is there.
You will find me.
A home away from home.

So don't you tell time how and who it will pass.
Don't ask my woman while she weeps in her glass.
I don't ask love how long love will last
if the wind is too strong, if the water too deep.
It is there
in the ditches,
it is dying to speak.

What was done on the road, what would stay on the road.
It is there
as an angel
layed down in the snow.

I am the cause of my troubles.
Like a bird I feel trapped by the sky.
Like the stars I am trapped by the night.
Like the sun I am struck by the light.

It was there all along, understood but unknown,
banging on blue moons over black hills of hope,
at the break of the mourning of the shadows and ghosts
of the one i knew least, of the one i missed most.
It was there
that you found me
a home away from home.

The signs are snowed over at the fork of the road,
but the crossroads' dark lights are beginning to glow.
It is there
you will find me
a home away from home.
