Central Hillside Blues

[Verse 1]
Alone for awhile, I guess it's true
I lose everything at the sight of you
Take me alive, I dare you now
I’d beg for forgiveness, but I don't know how
Shaking leaves an empty frame
You left without warning in the pouring rain

[Verse 2]
Tear it apart and look inside
Your poems and polish, ain't no way to hide
Perched on a limb, yeah, it’s killing me
Not much to accomplish and nowhere to be
Hallelujah, broken glass
A song ain't worth nothing if it doesn't last

[Bridge]
Something building
Drinks are spilling
On a floor in a town I love
So far from here

[Verse 3]
They ripped up thе streets in old Duluth
A violent reminder of an oldеr truth
Nothing's the same, how could it be?
When I'm not the devil that I used to be
There's a simple blinding light
That left without warning on a summer night
