Cold Steel Drum - Buck 65

I lay down for you, in black and blue

Life here is getting mad without you

The sun is hot and I can feel your heart beating

Like a cold steel drum of the winter

Overall, overall the land that spreads across there

Seasons and I’m still waiting for you…

Bring me back to love’s surrender

True desire, through the fire

It all came right down to the wire

The way we came together and the way we split

Man, we’ve been through some crazy shit…

Baby I know, you don’t need me holding

Back my heart now

I’ve got the feeling that it’s getting stronger anyhow

Won’t you come along to the places that I wander

I’ve got to get back, we can learn from each other

True desire, through the fire

It all came right down to the wire

The way we came together and the way we split

Man, we’ve been through some crazy shit…

Bring me back… Bring me back…

Bring me back… Bring me back… to love’s surrender

Who could have guessed it would ever go

As deep as this?

Singing without voice, amnesia and sleeplessness

Hunter goes quietly, distance seduced you

Windows that don’t open, it’s hard to get used to

The other shoe drops with a dutiful thud

Your eyes on the door and your beautiful blood

Overcast skies that are permanent and ominous

Hopper-esque hotel rooms and the anonymous

Already I find myself alone

And my mind wanders into the unknown

Counting the seconds and vowing the thirds

I sped through space with the rapidity of words

The worse kind of wounds don’t even break the skin

I hope I never make the same mistake again

Memories and scars that I intend to keep

Wounded and ruined, I only pretend to sleep
