• So far gone, my world seems out of place
    Suddenly, the earth seems to be crumbling under our race
    I loved you but I guess that it wasn't enough
    Couldn't see through you enough to call you for bluff

    If I crawled devastated to your door
    You'd consider me a waste of a bore
    And if I gave you the stars
    You'd cage me in bars made of wine and spite
    You were my gallant knight
    But something never was quite right
    Lead me out of the darkness, out of your trap
    Take this gap between us and stretch it so far
    That I can never find my way back to your arms

    In our time, my dear, you've learned I'm good with long goodbyes
    Maybe one day I'll be able to let my words loose and fly away with whatever I think
    But in the meantime, here we stand
    Floating up the Rio Grande
    Pondering existence and just what it means to be free
    I hope whenever you think that word, you'll think of me.
