lyrics

From a silhouette of a factory—
a silhouette of smoke
sways like drowned paper
and you go.

Running down these streets, not cars but clouds,
Leadville’s only sounds—
footsteps walking away.
Empty houses, tree branches gut cars,
and from a mountain, you can’t see that far.

You, you left me, for Albuquerque
but I thought this mountain stream
was the gray of your iris looking away from me.

Up here they’re making metal from the mountains
they pull down, and I make songs
with my face to the road you left on.

All my songs are fish in streams
heading down to you
in Albuquerque,
a town you can’t see
not even from this height.

You, you left me for Albuquerque—
you can’t hear a song from there,
just the smoke drifting through the air.

You, you left me for Albuquerque
and in a song through smoke,
I think I’m searching
for you
