Lyrics Grant-Lee Phillips

Grant-Lee Phillips

Far End Of The Night

Buddy some Topeka night

When it’s just you and the road

Seen no tailights there for miles

And nothin’ much but static on the radio

Wasn’t lookin’ to the left

Wasn’t lookin’ to the right

Just kept walking’ like Virginia to the surf

Towards the far end of the night

Time hangs like a noose

Before me

Time stills to a crawl

Grinds so slowly

Heard my own beloved cry

I heard my one beloved moan

What’s the use in all the ache we must endure

I had no good reason why

Time hangs like a noose

Before me

Time stills to a crawl

Grinds so slowly

Not a rail to grasp ahold

Nor a savior there beside

Juat kept a walkin’ like Virginia to the surf

Towards the far end of the night

Time hangs like a noose

Before me

Time stills to a crawl

Grinds so slowly

And time hangs like a noose

Around me
