about

I know that I am addicted to something when it comes between me and who or what I love. When the possibility of actualizing my dreams or even meeting my needs is replaced by the reality that a substance will come first. When "I swear one of these days, it'll happen", means nothing at all.

For the woman who loved me in the earliness of this crisis, who I burned and lashed with my mourning tongue - who held me while I fell apart. Thank you.

lyrics

Do you hear me when I cry out your name
From way across the country
Got nothing to offer you and even less to say
but I'm begging you to hear from me

I'm going back to Paradise Valley, Montana
To find that river just off the road
I could stand a baptize'n since we left Montana
I've seen more of Hell than I care to know

Face down in the city and I'm so far from home
Someone's layin next to me but I'm all alone
Its been so long since Ive heard my own name
or recognized a single time or place
or recognized a single line in my face

Do you hear me when I twist, tear and shake
Condemned as these walls that hardly stand
Back in the midwest just as the dawn would break
You held me to the Promise Land.

Now all that I've got left is an old scrap of fabric
Just some shirt, use to be yours
It use to hold you and separate us at the skin
It can't do that any more
Now it just lays there on the floor

I'd give anything to be stranded with you now
In the back seat of that car thats broken down
I'd give anything but I've got nothin to give
And this city life's a lonely way to live

I'm going back to Paradise Valley, Montana
To find that river just off the road
It'll happen one of these days I swear
I swear, just as soon as I'm ready to go
It'll happen one of these days I swear
One of these days I'm coming home.
