She’s headed south with debts left to pay
and just one tired line to get by
I’ll never make this last stand in time
and she’ll come on down
See the path she has left behind
I’m falling back a little too slow
and I’m sure she can see it’s a lie
Maybe I never wanted to fight
as she comes on down
As the toll climbs
maybe I’m not at home
but I left a key for her to find
and a note
‘welcome home, love’
How many years did it take just to find me?
And the face that you left me to see only serves to remind me
that each time you speak I forget what to say
But the signs line the streets of this familiar parade
and each one repeats that you get what you pay
She’s laid the trap so well even I could see it
Dead sure I know that there’s one way out
As the smoke rises
up above the horizon
I’ve learned enough to lay down
and take what comes
Welcome home, love
My favorite record she's made... bittersweet pop confectionery of the sort I love. Smart and told with wit and charm. It's just fantastic. Paul Melancon
One of the greatest bands of the moment if you like catchy melodies sung by several voices, 12-strings byrdsesque guitars and that kind of american pop taste but in a rock band. Daniel Perez
