Chalk

Each time that I hold the dice
 The numbers fade
 And leavin' marks in my hands
 Where the chalk and dust remain
 But lies can be read like notes
 She said I'd leave for Spain
 She could've known that city's life
 From the model she gave me
 Some would ask for more
 Fooled in the silence
 Cast the stone down
 And doubt what they saw
 Just to follow the siren
 Now she moved on
 And passed through the crowd
 She carried our hearts out
 It's true that some words are lost
 'Cause you chose not to hear them
 The eyes of two years have marked
 New lines on her face
 They pass me by in the dark
 My hands haven't changed
 With a crayon and pen from a can
 She drew a map of Spain
 Still have it now
 With a letter white
 But the markings are faded
 Some would ask for more
 Fooled in the silence
 Cast the stone down
 And doubt what they saw
 Just to follow the siren
 As she moved on
 And passed through the crowd
 She carried our hearts out
 It's true that some words are lost
 'Cause you chose her to give them
 No
