lyrics

A man can miss, the sounds of a sawmill
The sweltering heat and the saddest of songs
The bitter winds, that blow through December
And bad days that came, but didn't stay for too long

A cherry pit, lay waste in the ash tray
a smoke stomped out on your mother's clean floor
Dig deep enough and you'll come out with something
But I'm turning around, 'cause I'm tired and I'm sore

For the birds I killed, when I was just a boy
With no consequence with such joy
I had no Idea, how hard it is
To find something that's worth a shit

Alleys and sidewalks, the rivers and the stars
They never do feel like what I left behind
Like lovers of past, that can't look in your eye
A place I remember but never will find

For the birds I killed, when I was just a boy
With no consequence with such joy
I had no Idea, how hard it is
To find something that's worth a shit
To find something that's worth a shit
