Due South

Due South - Thea Gilmore

The moon is a stain the ghost of your eyes

Drowns in a black coffee night

The snow has been singing its song to the light

Well I know a boy who breaks his own heart

Every time that it rains

There are not enough miracles and chains

To pave his road

Now he's due south

Feet on the dash of a rented car

Due south

Sometimes he dreams of his mothers eyes

Mostly he'll just curse the stars

Mostly he'll just curse the stars

Loved like a child

The weakest of ties

Bound like a crane in the ice

All of the whispers and lies that he used

If you wanted a life full of the sting and the fall

But boy you know he had it all

Traded it in for a crucible and a bruise

Now he's due south

Dreams in the hum of an alloy wheel

Due south

Bitterest sting of rubber and steel

Looking for hope in stilletto heels

Looking for hope in stilletto heels

Due south

Feet on the dash of a rented car

Due south

Sometimes he dreams of his mothers eyes

Mostly he'll just curse the stars

Mostly he'll just curse the stars

Mostly he'll just curse the stars
