Lyrics

Her dirtied suit
Her dirtied boots
They're wearin' on
They're well away from me now

Managing a smile every mile she drags 'em along
And well away from me now

She knew what we had
And she knew that it couldn't last
Said she's stacking up cash, I'm lighting a match
So she told me to leave what wearies me finely packed and folded,
"For when the world gets itself good and worried enough,
You must be up and ready 'fore it knows it."

It wasn't the place for the intellect getting concerned
Still eyes and ears shameless and stirring
See, her beauty was more
Than a system running hot that doesn't stop
As we get old, I'd hope to part then meet,
The hands traipsing around the watch

We dirtied the rain the night it fell upon us unfussed
Dear, if you could remember the night it was
Yes, we're destined to fail in the traditional sense of the phrase
But if you could look me up
And if you want to, down, one of these days
