Lyrics
Last Straws
Oh so many years been on this old earth alone
long dead country road seems take me home
I brake for old barns built and left for picture books
passed so many times but still worth the second looks
they're all weathered now and I'm afraid to go inside
roofs a fragile cover for the secrets that they hide... they hide...
take my hand let's walk on in
through doors of wood and rust
unsettled on the floors and walls
are the last straws of memories and dust
broken windows scattered dreams
we need to accept the blame
we threw the rocks and lost our own way
but now we're back to try again
One more mile up the road a farm comes into view
favorite trees and dogs had died right there where they grew
the house is barely standing and the fields are overgrown
a tougher path to love now than the ones that we were shown...
the love that we were shown...
so take my hand lets walk on in
through doors of wood and rust
unsettled on the floors and walls
are the last straws of memories and dust
broken windows scattered dreams
we need to accept the blame
we threw the rocks and lost our own way
but now we're back to try again
now we've come back to try again
to try again... yeah oh try again
