Fifteen hundred miles on a dusty odometer,
wind screaming, North Carolina singing
a siren's lusty song.
And you're there at the end of a dirty road,
and I'm here at the top of a hill
eyes absorbing, compass spinning,
(thinking thoughts of jill)
I think I can love you, I said,
I think I do love you.
now I think something's wrong.
'Cause you're there at the end of a dirty road
smelling all Sweet and Sex and Gin
and I'm here at the top of a mountain
looking all Hard and Dead and Grim.
She's calling me, purring in my ear
all There and Hot and Now
I think I can love you,
I know I can love you,

(then why am I here with her?)
'cause you're there, cold, on the dirty road
smelling all drugged and done and gone--
building your walls of no and alone
I think I can love you,
I know I can love you,
but you're happier weighted with stones.
