Not a Light for Miles

from Startled By His Own Tail by Little Otik

/

lyrics

On the ashes of a matchstick house
I slept there once or twice
I was living with a woman then
there may have been a child
but the fire burned out years ago
now, there’s not a light for miles

I walk with my hat low
brim covering both my eyes
I air out all my secrets
in the same breath as my lies
so let’s talk a while longer
There’s not a light for miles

Thick trees hung above me
There ain’t a moon tonight
Let me sleep beneath the high grass
under endless starless skies
Lay me down to rest here
where there’s not a light for miles
