Honey Jars

I pick up a broken comb
 Run it through my thin gray hair
 Though I don't have any plans tonight
 I'm not going anywhere
 Well I should have seen this coming
 Don't know why I'm surprised
 'Cause every vessel on its way down
 Takes with it the captains life
 Though I'm blind, my dear, I see
 The parade goes on without me
 My body aches, my mind it weeps
 For you, for you
 Tonight I'm locked outside my building
 Guess I must have lost the key
 So I'll just sit here on the sidewalk
 Let the snow fall on my knees
 And if I make it to a pay phone
 I don't know who i would call
 So for now I'll close my eyes and rest
 My crooked back against the wall
 I read that old men will see visions
 And young men will follow dreams
 And I believed it when I read it
 I see you face in everything
 And now your honey jars are frozen
 And in the window, your books have browned
 And there's too much room inside our bed
 I think I'll join you in the ground
 Though I'm blind my dear I see
 Let the chorus sing without me
 My body breaks, my mind it sleeps
 With you, oh oh oh
