Danny Came Up

Life lived in paragraphs Love like it's measured on the page Rub the messy thoughts away and start again I heard you'd settled back down Done up some old abandoned place Somewhere no one else can find you Danny came up He sat right down as he gave me the news Said he's better Better off alone Asked him how you were But I guess I'll never know Cracked glass and buzzing lights The low notes when trucks pass in the night Always said you had some silence to find The sun's up but not for long Can see there's a fog that's blowing in Guess it's not a day for driving Danny came up He sat right down as he gave me the news Said he's better Better off alone You'd been out of love For so long Danny came up He said you'd asked him to give me the news He looked older Like he's running low Asked him how you were But I guess I'll never know Not tonight There's mist on the causeway Not tonight They've closed off the highway Not tonight The boat came in too late Danny came up He sat right down as he gave me the news Said he's better Better off alone You'd been out of love For so long Danny came up He said you'd asked him to give me the news He looked older Like he's running low Asked him how you were But I guess I'll never know
