lyrics

With wind in her hair
Songs on her breath, singing
Songs of the past
Songs of older hearts, broke

Driving away cause I've driven you out
Driving away cause I've driven you out
Fleeing the sacrilege, fleeing the shouts
Driving away cause I've driven you out

The tear that you dropped
As you left from my room hasn't landed
The tongue that once said
I'm here or I'm dead is tied
You said you were hungry
You jangled your keys
And left the room clutching your side
I said, "I love you" as food for thought
But your stomach's not hurting this time

You'd drive that car like a modern mayflower to hell
Then pilgrimage over you're mentally headed for home
I'd tell you, "I told you"
I'd tell you, "you left without knowing"

But you did some thinking
Over 3000 miles of thought
I haven't seen you
It's been seven years since we talked
Modern mayflower I wish you well
I wish you well
