The Prince William Sound

I’m so tired, my eyes are blood-shot red, yeah
I’ve been around some and I have discovered
The dream ain’t what it seems, but this reality, it’s nearly dead
I’ve gotta leave, I’m gonna leave you now
Can’t step in Alaska, take me down south of Mount Shasta
Going to California in the morn
I’ve had enough of rugged edges of the world
Where there’s too many guys and not enough girls
Middle of nowhere, gives a guy a distant stare
But I love you more than anyone I know --
I do not know anyone at all
Well, I awoke in the back of a station wagon
Whittier, Alaska, in the pouring rain
Outside a bar called the Anchor Inn
There was a fight, I heard your lover fair dissolved
Problem solved with a broken fist
Bloody nose and a busted lip
You broke your hand
You hit the wall when he ducked your punch
Heard he’s waiting at your cabin with the gun
Now there’s no sound, just the Prince William Sound
And he don’t say a thing
It’s almost summer: it rains and snows and rains again
If I return just to find that I’m dead to you
Can my ghost lie in bed with you?
I’ll possess your boyfriend’s body
Then you’ll be making love to me
But you love him more than anyone you know
But you don’t know anyone at all
So do your dreams fuel the fire of your illusion?
Heart and mind are in collusion
Asleep you’re not alive, if you dream can you still survive?
And do you feel that your life is consuming you
The illusion’s ruining you, your love’s a fallacy
So what on earth could set you free?
I love you more than anyone I know
But I don’t know anyone at all
I love you more than anyone I know
But I don’t know anyone at all
You loved him more than anyone you know
But you don’t know anyone at all
