I couldn't get any further, from the place that I call home.
And it couldn't get much colder, there's no credit on the phone.
The bed is hard and overused, I wear my clothes to stem the draught.
If it hadn't been for the Baltimore Queen, this day could have been my last.
Chorus:
It's so hard to keep it together, When there's nothing to keep us apart.
And it's hard to sleep so sober, when the night cuts through your heart.
Well he knows he is dying, but he's not giving up too soon.
And it hurts so much, to watch him cling, to the shadow of a long gone tune.
He held the torch for all those years, but she lost the will back then.
And there's nothing I can do but bear witness to, the power of those dreams.
Chorus
Though I'm right here I'm dreaming, you can't see what I can.
I'm sending these thoughts, four hundred miles, you can catch them if you can.
The only comfort, I can bring is to keep up this pretence.
And the beauty of each moment's been, lost in the deeper sense.
