Crumbling Road

He was born on a Tuesday late in December
Early in the morning in the cold of the winter
She was born on a Sunday in heat of the summer
With the days getting longer and with the heart of a runner

She’s gone

The crumbling road will carry you home
Through the dark of the night by the light of the stars
She said
The crumbling road will carry you home

They met on a Friday in a spring to remember
It was coming down sideways
She was glowing like an ember
He knew by Monday when the skies had parted
That she’d had him by the heartstrings from the moment they started

She’s gone

The crumbling road will carry you home
Through the dark of the night by the light of the stars
She said
The crumbling road will carry you home

If there’s something you need
There’s a place you can go
You can get back home on a crumbling road
When it all burns down
If your sunshine is gone
You can get back home on a crumbling road

He woke on a Wednesday in the middle of a fall
In the cool of October and he knew she was gone
And he cried till Thursday when he recalled
The words that she said when they started it all

Now she’s gone

The crumbling road will carry you home
Through the dark of the night by the light of the stars
The crumbling road will carry you home
Oh yeah it will
The crumbling road will carry you home
Through the dark of the night by the light of the stars
The crumbling road will carry you home
