12,000 Lines Big Thief

[Verse 1]
Crossed twelve-thousand lines looking for your face
Only to find not a trace
Even the memory of your mouth tries to disappear
Little lights turn into spheres
Blue mountain in the rearview

[Chorus]
Some nights, barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call

[Verse 2]
Cross twelve letters down, found the longest word
This morning, I'd heard
Somebody said they saw you 'round 1st and 23rd
Blue feathers in your hairdo

[Chorus]
Some nights, barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
Maple cherry leaves start to fall
Waiting for my woman to call

[Verse 3]
Sweet honey, stirring in my tea
You'rе stirring me
Forgiveness, all thе money in the world
Won't buy it
