Brian Hartt - Winedark Hall Lyrics

Stumble in drunk to a dark apartment
I throw my hands out in every direction
I fumble for the light, so I can continue my
One way discussion
Because loneliness is a gossamer thread
Thrown out in hope of connection
But blows away short and I fall down in the dark
I speak out loud an unanswerable question

Mmm

I stare at the ceiling
And listen for bumps in the night
And sometimes while I stare I imagine
Someone in the space to my right
Bumps become beats of a heart
While I lie on the bed in the dark
And I whisper aloud "you want but don't need it"

Mmm

I drink when I'm lonely
But it just sharpens the edge
And since last October
I got a thirst that I can't seem to quench
So I call who will answer and spill
All my guts out my mouth
It's not a secret
How the pastor will deal with the mouse
And I say a prayer that I thought I'd forgotten

Mmm

Please
Neither the devil or I believe
Much anymore
So plant me in the mud
Along with a seed
And my car keys
