JOHN HIATT
Only The Song Survives
I woke her up twice in the middle of the night
To ask what her name is and where she might live
To ask how many fingers she saw in this light
To ask if she might know what gives
She said we rolled that camaro like a cowboy cigarette
Out on the highway in a puddle of beer
That's just about how close to death you're gonna get
Till the only thing standing is fear
Chorus:
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
The names of the innocent, the story at five
Oh darling, faces get strange
But only the song survives
She said, now don't you remember they put a patch on your eye
Like dread pirate roberts, you looked so unplanned
They cut off my wedding ring and you started to cry
A one-eyed niagara falls man
Chorus
I said, but I never married - I said with surprise
And is this the diamond you said that you lost
It was under my eyelids when they flushed out my eyes
Hell and I don't know what the thing cost
Chorus twice
But I woke up sweating to breakfast in bed
And there were my children, and there was my wife
Post-traumatic stress, of just a bump on the head
Or maybe the ride of my life
Chorus twice
