Testo William Barn Burning

William

i won't go anywhere
if not without you
and i won't tell them anything at all if your not around
out here all caught up in life
out here without you
out here in the last days of our youth trying not to fall

in a home here, in a home here, in a home here all by herself
a home without you
an old pipe sits there on the shelf
hollow and cold
and they've emptied the big white house and piled your things in the driveway
an old mandol
in a broken down train set town and no reason to hang around

and in these photographs on the front porch
does everything work out
in this winter scene
tell me everything works out
in that last memory

William walks in the open air
and will now forever and our old ghosts go with him there
down the old roads
and i won't go anywhere if not without you
even though i've been moving since you've been gone but can't seem to move on.
