Parachute Songtext
von Simon Joyner

I think that smile is shutting down
Maybe it′s just flinching
The sun shot up just like a child
These old hands are only itching
Would you believe it is my fault?
I went and made myself lonely
I miss the way she said my name
Like I was a distant city


Now winter came and swept away
The bird's nest from my chimney
The cold air marched right through the walls
And settled here in my belly
Her memory keeps me tossing
Those letters into the fire
The flames they′re twisting to sustain
That love which has retired

Now New York is not a place I'd choose
To have my body buried
But Omaha's got the trains to take
The snow to the cemetery

Well there is a place called home I believe
If you′re willing to step out of the lead
I miss the way she held on to me
Like I was a parachute
