lyrics

ANY NUMBER OF WAYS

Winding down the end of time
We drank thirteen bottles of wine
Wrapped in furs and feeling bold
We walked out into the cold
Gathered ‘round the ancient fire
Singing like a bloodshot choir
And through the flames I recognized
Something different in your eyes

This could happen in any number of ways
I’ll close my eyes and not wake up for days

Then we jumped in the river but the river was hard
Frozen like a midnight boulevard
The dogs showed up in an angry pack
They howled at us and we howled back
Then I was sick upon the snow
Bathed in a pale moonlight glow
From what came out I could gleam
Parts of me that I’d never seen

This could happen in any number of ways
I’ll buy tomorrow with all of my yesterdays

Just then to my great surprise
I grew two hundred times my size
I stepped over the forest wide
And crossed the valley in one stride
Brushing stars and full of joy
I made it clear to Illinois
When the dawn brought to my mind
All that I had left behind

This could happen in any number of ways
I’ll bribe tomorrow with all of my yesterdays

By the time that I returned
Smoke rose where the fire had burned
And all around were silent souls
Staring into ash and coals
The sun rose and we sat awhile
I kissed your sad, sad smile
Before I could say the words
You turned into a flock of birds
Feathered fury beating away

This could happen in any number of ways
I’ll close my eyes and not wake up for days
Yeah this could happen in any number of ways
I’ll bribe tomorrow with all of my yesterdays
Yesterdays
