There She Goes

#vj69Ai #storyteller #old #memories #ThereSheGoes She paints her eyes in a shade of goodbye Leaves the front door hanging wide There’s a suitcase full of secrets by the stairs I know that look the look like she’s not there And I’ve tried to hold the rain back Tried to brace the walls But mercy doesn’t live here When the midnight starts to call “There she goes” “There she goes” She laughed once like a church bell on sunny Sunday Now it’s more like a glass that breaks She said “Some people are anchors, baby — I was always the wake” Then she turned off the radio just to feel the ache And I’ve prayed to every highway saint And every bourbon sky But you can’t save someone who’s already Taught herself to fly There she goes There she goes Like a match held to the ocean like a bell that won’t come home She don’t leave she just erases Every room she ever graces And I’m just the echo of a ghost who knows “There she goes” Somewhere past the city line I swear I saw her taillights blink goodbye And the radio was playing something slow Something about "the way she goes" “There she goes” “There she goes”
