Gary Louris - One Way Conversation Lyrics

AS I SIT IN SILENCE LISTENING TO THE SPACE
THE SPACE THAT HAS NO EDGES NOT A TRACE
GIVE ME A SIGN, GIVE ME A SIGN
JUST ONE SINGLE CONVERSATION FACE TO FACE

IN THAT ONE DEFINING MOMENT
WILL I STAND OR WILL I FALL
I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE WOULD
WOULD HAVE MADE IT AFTER ALL

ONCE AGAIN I SUBSTITUTE YOU FOR THE TRUTH
AND I LEAN UPON THE CRUTCH THAT I CALL YOU
LOST IN THE WAVES, LOST IN THE WAVES
AND A STRING OF LONG FORGOTTEN YESTERDAYS

AND THE LAST THING I REMEMBER
THERE WAS RINGING IN MY EARS
THEN I CLOSED MY EYES IN WONDER
AND IT ALL JUST DISAPPEARED

A SALVATION ARMY BLANKET KEPT US WARM
THOUGH THE CLOTH WAS THIN AND EVERY CORNER WORN

IN THAT ONE DEFINING MOMENT
WILL I STAND OR WILL I FALL
I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE WOULD
WOULD HAVE MADE IT AFTER ALL

IT'S A ONE-WAY CONVERSATION
JUST A ONE-WAY CONVERSATION
IT'S A ONE-WAY CONVERSATION
JUST A ONE-WAY CONVERSATION
IT'S A ONE-WAY CONVERSATION
JUST A ONE-WAY CONVERSATION
