The Courier Pigeons - Vacancy

Out of this dream I finally wake
A cup of coffee and a breakfast plate
In my easy chair in the morning light
I feel the words that you said last night

In the corner with her quiet eyes
She puts her makeup on so she could hide the cries
A quiet lull then the silence broke
The words she said I start to choke

She said "I never thought I would feel this way
My head spins from the words you say
I don't think I can walk this line
I only tried make you mine
I'm not a woman who can sing the blues
This vacant room
Is because
Of you"

We checked the box but didn't read the line
To find us here under the checkout sign
You walked outside and you closed the door
I won't see you in that dress no more

Your friend came to gather your things
Took everything but your wedding ring
The years drove off in that old pickup
Passed the carved heart on an old tree stump

She said "I never thought I would feel this way
My head spins from the words you say
I don't think I can walk this line
I only tried make you mine
I'm not a woman who can sing the blues
This vacant room
Is because
Of you"

Saw you out at the record store
My worn-out boots walked across the floor
You turn to go then you met my eyes
Put your record down and you walked outside
You drove away in that old pick up
I see a vacancy sign and it's all lit up
I pick up the pieces of a broken frame
You walked away to do more of the same

She said "I never thought I would feel this way
My head spins from the words you say
I don't think I can walk this line
I only tried make you mine
I'm not a woman who can sing the blues
This vacant room
Is because
Of you"
