For Pam
lyrics
You knew me before I knew myself
I was a salesman with no confidence.
I staggered blindly towards your door
and I laid my luggage on your porch.
Shining dull with rain and dust
my presentation caked with mud.
My eyes they never left the ground
as unheard gibberish poured from my mouth.
You said, “Sir, I live here all alone
not even my mother calls me on the phone.
I’d be obliged if you’d step inside
please sit with me and stay awhile”.
To the song of creaking boards
I stepped inside your door
and I watched your shadow
dance across the floor.
And the comfort that you wore
cast the sorrow from my heart
the last stop brought me back
to the start.
My whole life I thought I was built to roam
turns out I had no better place to go
than up and down through rust belt towns
peddling my particular hand me downs.
Your whole life you were waiting on the wind to change
for it to be at your back and not in your face.
If you’ll permit me I've got something in my case for free
please take this piece of my heart, it’s the best of me.
To the song of creaking boards
I stepped inside your door
and I watched your shadow
dance across the floor.
And the comfort that you wore
cast the sorrow from my heart
the last stop brought me back
to the start.
