A Rifle Sits Behind Your Sleeping Ear.

Echo On The Cold Wall,

Closest Neighbour Couldn't Hear.

We'd Dug A Hole In The Fall,

So Now It's A Frozen Burial.

And She's Gone,

Just Before The New Year.



Well, I'm Gonna Build A Cross For A Spot Between The Trees

And Stick It In Firm So It Won't Sway In Their Breeze.

Well, You And I Have Trouble Makin' Up Our Half-assed Minds,

But She'd Seen Sixteen Years Of Our Kind.



What's It Like When Your Memories Start To Freeze?



Oh, And I Wonder

What It Is About Dogs And Thunder,

What They Hear

Comin' Over The Field.

Back Hall Shelter, Warm Nights In Summer,

Shakin' The Ground That You Lie Under.

Well, I Know You're Not Here,

But At Least You Don't Feel It Anymore.



And I Came To See You

On The Day That It Happened.

You Said:

"Hey, Sorry Sar, But I Gotta Go."

And I Was Trying To Read

Some Sort Of Reaction,

But Somethin' You Just Can't Show.



Well, I Guess It's Time I Go

Across The Snowy Barnyard,

Just Past The Drive-in Shed.

Shadow Of Me In The Moon,

Well, I Was In A Movie In My Head.

This Pile Of Dirt On The Ground

Will Sink When Nobody's Around.



Winter Covers Everything,

But Everything's Not Dead.



Oh, And I Wonder

What It Is About Dogs And Thunder,

What They Hear

Comin' Over The Field.

Back Hall Shelter, Warm Nights In Summer,

Shakin' The Ground That You Lie Under.

Well, I Know You're Not Here,

But At Least You Don't Feel It Anymore.



Well, I Know You're Not Here,

But At Least You Don't Feel It Anymore.



Well, I Know You're Not Here,

But At Least You Don't Fear It Anymore.
