lyrics

Silver cans and bronze colored dirt
Silver cans and bronze colored dirt
Things end so soon, beneath a parking lot moon
Silver cans and bronze colored dirt

She said let’s call it quits
Let’s not call it the end of the world
Call it what you will
I’m heartbroken still
Words are just words

Road salt on I-95
Road salt on I-95
Forget what you’re told, it’s bound to get cold
There’s road salt on I-95

I call today a disaster
She calls it December the third
Call it what you will
I’m heartbroken still
Words are just words

On a brief and starstricken night
On a brief and starstricken night
I called her name on the road from Spokane
On a brief and starstricken night

I hear a blue heron crying
Some folks just call it a bird
Call it what you will
I’m heartbroken still
Words are just words

Some call an end a beginning
For right now they’ll go unheard
Call it what you will
I’m heartbroken still
Words are just words
