Laid To Rest

Finally the tether breaks on Tuesday night I ring
He says we can get together, but he's staying in
One more night, inside, I mean you have to do what feels right
But in the morning light its cold, its cold, it's so cold

Please let me stay, please let me stay
But he's trying to get me out the door in his diplomatic way

I had speeches, I had scenes
Now I have quiet memories and the occasional dream
I've laid to rest my craziness
for today today today...

I'm bleeding like a soldier
Into your pint of pride
A pack of straights and a corner seat
This was the last time I cried
Why could you only be a man
When you had a drink in your hand?
One more night inside
And more for the road

I had speeches, I had scenes
Now I have quiet memories and the occasional dream
I've laid to rest my craziness
for today today today....

Finally the tether breaks on Tuesday night I ring
He says baby we can get together, but he's staying in
One more night, inside, I mean you have to do what feels right
But in the morning light its cold, its cold
