Letra de Forty Miles From Nowhere
It rained today, the clouds rolled up at dawn All hell burst wide open and just like that was goneYour little lapdog chased a fox tailed squirrel Across the main road through the woodSome ninja on a dirt bike nearly ran him down for goodRight about now it gets quiet around hereWhat with nightfall in the wingsThe floorboards creak and faucets leak But it's the emptiness that singsThe wind grows chill and then lies still 40 miles from nowhere At the bottom of the worldNovember sky's a diamond-studded dome A hundred billion points of light to guide my way back homeWhen the moon is hanging fat and full And all those jangly stars recedeA fold out couch on a midnight porch is Where my footsteps leadYou always said I made my bed 40 miles from nowhereAt the bottom of the world Friends don't call like they used to for reasons not unkindIf there's anything that we can do rings hollow down a telephone lineThere's a cedar grove in back of the houseMaybe halfway down the hill A place to go and just lay low when there's time to fillA few gravestones, a pre-civil war fence and the random arrowhead Is where the beehive swarmed three Summers ago, "Too wet, " the old men saidSo it's me your little lapdog and That old brindle cat trying to keep this place in line And heading into town these days is the last thing on my mindI weep for you It's what I do 40 miles from nowhereAt the bottom of the world 40 miles from nowhere At the bottom of the world
