Big Thief 12000 Lines Lyrics
Crossed twelve thousand lines looking for your face
Only to find not a trace
Even the memory of your mouth tries to disappear
Little lights turn into spheres
Blue mountain in the rearview
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
Cross, twelve letters down, found the longest word
This morning I’d heard
Somebody said they saw you around 1st and 23rd
Blue feathers in your hairdo
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
Maple cherry the leaves start to fall
Waiting for my woman to call
Sweet honey, stirring in my tea
You’re stirring me
Forgiveness, all the money in the world
Can’t buy it
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
