lyrics

There’s fog on the water, it is a veil to mask the bride
For the restless sky that blackens by night
Monterey waits there, hiding behind a winding road
As I grip the wheel so I don’t lose control

If my words were colored I’d want them to be read
But my green eyes copy them in black and white so I hide them
If my thoughts had words I’d want them to be said
But I can’t shy away from the perfect gray that is my mind

The highway is peaceful, it sounds like a photograph of time
Selected scenes from my sprinting mind
The roar of the water speaks of a conflict and deceit
And the tossing waves that wont allow me sleep

If my words were colored I’d want them to be read
But my green eyes copy them in black and white so I hide them
If my thoughts had letters I’d want them to be said
But I can’t shy away from the perfect gray that is my mind

Hold me together, hold me closer than I ever knew
Pull me together, I’m much closer to believing you

If Steinbeck were guiding, he would have pointed to the north
So I search this West to find the Inscore
Words are the way now, but I wanted nothing of the sort
As I sat in silence on a Prescott porch
