lyrics

Standing on the corner with a suitcase in my hand. Never thought I'd leave this town, but here I am. Life is full of crossroads, of corners to be turned, ladders to climb, bridges to be burned. Wind-made waves in a sea of maize, a cobalt field of sky. Confined to the quarters of my heart, with an arrow in my eye. Drive out there to where she lives, turn off the road blind, to see her standing at the door, one last time. I am reaping, reaping the crops I have sown. I am leaving, leaving the land I have known. There is nothing to me now, but the vacuum that I hide. As we sit by the willow tree, she says goodbye. Headlights caress the road ahead, the steering wheel held tight. The vision of her standing there, in silence and in sunlight. Stretching out across the land, there is no need to look. That's the state I'm living in, the title of the book. I know one day the lines will fade, I know it won't be soon. Until that time she lingers on, the hounds are baying at the moon. I am reaping, reaping in the crops I have sown. I am leaving, leaving the land that I have known
