Cover Your Tracks
Dan Elkan
Dragged the bodies of our former lives
Off the trail, like loosened rocks we tumbled free
And we covered the path
Watch the road as it turns to gravel
Higher beams hardly light the way
Where we’re goin
To a place where the current moves you
Under force that is not your own
Letting go
Talked the talk until I walked the walk
Out the bar, around the corner, up your stairs
And I covered the tracks
Watch the road as it turns to gravel
Higher beams hardly light the way
Where we’re goin
To a place where the current moves you
Under force that is not your own
Letting go
Got to where I could not remember
When I last had to take a chance
Cut the cord
Knowing well how the details scatter
By the kids using inside voices
Tongues we hold
