[Bill Callahan - 35 lyrics]
I can't see myself in the
Books I read these days
Used to be I saw myself on every single page
It was nice to know that my
Life had been lived before
But, I can't see myself in the
Books that I read anymore
Tired eyes wander into their own sight
Leaving a body unscripted
And forced to improvise
By being so much as I was
I was getting so far away
From anything that I had ever known
And everyone and night had fallen
I could no longer find my way, Lord
And the moon came up high
And I said take me home
To anyone as bright as day
But the fact of the sun comes
The fiction of the moon
The moon can make a false love feel true
It can make me still wanting you
Oh, the moon
I watched that old girl
Leave her stable tonight
And neither she nor I could look away
As she drew a map for me on
The back of the master plan
And you know I had to laugh
And I wished that I was like
That moon on her path
Or that train on her track
'Cause when I looked out back
The road was pulling out so soft
Fast and black
You know it takes what it gives back
And I've got your book in my lap
Books I read these days
Used to be I saw myself on every single page
It was nice to know that my
Life had been lived before
But, I can't see myself in the
Books that I read anymore
Tired eyes wander into their own sight
Leaving a body unscripted
And forced to improvise
By being so much as I was
I was getting so far away
From anything that I had ever known
And everyone and night had fallen
I could no longer find my way, Lord
And the moon came up high
And I said take me home
To anyone as bright as day
But the fact of the sun comes
The fiction of the moon
The moon can make a false love feel true
It can make me still wanting you
Oh, the moon
I watched that old girl
Leave her stable tonight
And neither she nor I could look away
As she drew a map for me on
The back of the master plan
And you know I had to laugh
And I wished that I was like
That moon on her path
Or that train on her track
'Cause when I looked out back
The road was pulling out so soft
Fast and black
You know it takes what it gives back
And I've got your book in my lap
