Green Light

On the day you told me to leave, I left
I put on my nice shoes and a Sunday vest
I don't think I loved you, but I'm sure I will
Green light, green light, keep me still

From my window at night, I can see the owls
Why are they up there at this hour?
I don't think I'm dreaming, but I sure could use a pinch
Green light, green light, it's a sin

Walk me to the river with chirpin' birds all around
Your legs and your arms and dead ones on the ground
They don't sing our song no more in this town
Green light, green light, put me down

From the trail, I can hear Westover's train
The ducks aren't scared, but they smell rain
I don't think I loved you, but I sure never will again
Green light, green light, keep me sane
