Lyrics Damien Jurado

Damien Jurado

Hands on the Table

I will always remember our hands on the table and I

I could not unlock from your stare

And though I've tried to untie from your anchor I can't

I am no good at giving up

I am directing our movie, our play in my mind

A moment suspended in time that I keep on rewind

And the ink, it is bleeding through pages where I wrote down your name

And carefully planned our escape

I would pass you a key and pay off the judges to free you

If that's what it takes then why wait

I am one cloud shy in your neon sky

Do not go from my road

Do not go from my road

I was crippled and blurry the day I walked into your frame

I'm so focused now on your name

And my pages were fading from the days of exchanging my tune

On trains that I took home to you

When the signal broke I spoke to you on paper

From the parking lot to your bed where you are not now

Do not go from my road

Do not go from my road

Soon my moon will fall

Soon my moon

Soon my moon will fall
