[Verse 1]
I've got it all to myself now
Crack the window just a hair
Dark and close, the way I like it
Black tobacco chokes the air
I keep to myself, I lack the language
I measure out my life with coffee grounds
The trees are the color of ashes
In Charlemagne's home town
[Pre-Chorus]
I said I didn't fear the distance
As if I'd ever been that tough
I can hear your voice across the water
But that's nowhere near enough
[Chorus]
Won't you fly across that ocean
Take a train on down?
Because the night's growing lonesome
In Charlemagne's home town
[Verse 2]
The fortune teller told me nothing
That I wouldn't have found out on my own
She read my palm and she took my money
She looked at me with eyes of stone
Said the odds are long and stacked against us
Still we try because we must
To keep from leaving our senses
Long forgotten in the dust
I've got it all to myself now
Crack the window just a hair
Dark and close, the way I like it
Black tobacco chokes the air
I keep to myself, I lack the language
I measure out my life with coffee grounds
The trees are the color of ashes
In Charlemagne's home town
[Pre-Chorus]
I said I didn't fear the distance
As if I'd ever been that tough
I can hear your voice across the water
But that's nowhere near enough
[Chorus]
Won't you fly across that ocean
Take a train on down?
Because the night's growing lonesome
In Charlemagne's home town
[Verse 2]
The fortune teller told me nothing
That I wouldn't have found out on my own
She read my palm and she took my money
She looked at me with eyes of stone
Said the odds are long and stacked against us
Still we try because we must
To keep from leaving our senses
Long forgotten in the dust
