Loose Freight - Sarah Lyrics

Sarah did my letters find you
Sitting on the old porch swing
I can smell the daisies floating on the
Santa Ana wind

Well the easy livin' it's been hard
The dust blew men in from afar
And the workin' its been hardly found
So lately I've been driftin round

Sarah maybe you were right
That California's cold at night
But what's Ohio ever done for you?

Well lately I've been sleeping out
With a wind that slips inside the trees
Like a hand inside a summer dress
And then you move inside of me

When the coffee in the kitchen's cold
And when the lights above they're buzzing hard
And when the wind pulls down from Michigan
Don't you miss me in your arms?

Sarah maybe you were right
That California's cold at night
But what's Ohio ever done for you?

Well time's like broken wings you know
They'll take you but won't wing you home
Well I wish that mine had broken
Long before I hit the coast

Cause right now I'm a thousand years
Of backwards glance and bad ideas
I'm a locket full of misdirection
Swinging by your heart

So won't you fold your dreams, and fold your madness
And clip them into paper wings
And wing them to the Stockton yards
And eastward I will be

Cause Sarah maybe you were right
That California's cold at night
But what's Ohio ever done for me
Sarah do you still remember me
