lyrics

Well, I should've asked the questions
Written on your face
Instead I swallowed silence down
And cleared the supper plates

And you headed out of Nebraska
The winter of that year
Chasing everything you thought you loved
And leaving what you feared

And the days are wide and long
Along this road I travel
And I'm filling up this paper cup
With thoughts I can't unravel

By the springtime you'd grown tired of
Nothing going your way
And by June I held a postcard
From across the USA

You're a drifter and a searcher
Daddy's blood in your veins
You ancient one, you prodigal son
You sinner, you saint

And you say "The days are wide and long
Along this road I travel
I'm just filling up this paper cup
With money I panhandle"
 
The snowflakes on the wheat fields
Were piled wide and high
And inside the silence smothered me
'Til I couldn't even cry

And after all the time of holding in
The silence of these years
I screamed to God to send an angel
Who'd comfort all my fears

'Cause I need some company
Along this road I travel
I'm just filling up this paper cup
With dreams that I can't handle
