Lyrics

Triptych

I was in the right place but I turned the wrong way
I just flew back from Chicago and you know that’s a long way
I didn’t want to see you but I felt the need to
And when you spent the night in my arms I could tell where you’d been to

You sit at home waiting with those black closet eyes
In the empty spaces where nothing’s been disturbed for a long time
And it always takes a while for me to realize
That this house is as empty as anyone living inside

Low Stepping in the Second Line, Elysian Fields in the springtime
And if you’re wondering where I’ve been I’ll keep your company in the mean time
I didn’t have to be sly ‘cause baby you were oh so high
You weren’t so big but you weren’t too easy and now I’m the bad guy

You sit at home waiting with those black closet eyes
In the empty spaces where nothing’s been disturbed for a long time
And it always takes a while for me to realize
That this house is as empty as anyone living inside
