Tennessee Songs: Via Chicago
Sunday, May 8, 2011 at 5:55AM Although this song has nothing to do with Tennessee, it does. I've gone home via Chicago. Film by Winterlongfilms. Words by Jeff Tweedy.
I dreamed about killing you again last night
And it felt alright to me
Dying on the banks of Embarcadero skies
I sat and watched you bleed
Buried you alive in a fireworks display
Raining down on me
Your cold hotblood ran away from me to the seaI printed my name on the back of a leaf
And I watched it float away
The hope I had in a notebook full of white, dry pages
Was all I tried to save
But the wind blew me back, via Chicago
In the middle of the night
And all without fight at the crush of veils and starlightI know I'll make it back one of these days
And turn on your TV
To watch a man with a face like mine
Being chased down a busy street
When he gets caught, I wont get up
And I wont go to sleepI'm coming home, I'm coming home
Via Chicago
