When to My Eyes the Skyline Rose

from The Workingtrans Blues by Tawni Marshall

/

lyrics

I hadn't seen the highway in about 6 months or so.
That's why I was crying when to my eyes the skyline rose.
It's not like I've never seen it,
It's just I've never seen it with these eyes before.
I'd be a stranger to my own ghost, if she saw me.

I'm counting myself lucky.
I've been counting myself out.
I'm so tired of counting on this clock that's counting down.
I will not renounce my body, even when my body casts me out.

...and I'm in that lonely space.
My ghost don't know my face.
And my heart is broke in so many ways
that have gathered in one place.
I try to keep it straight.
I try to pull my weight,
but it's hard when I've been tucked away
and pulling my own leg.
It's been a long time...

I hadn't seen the highway in about 6 months or so.
That's why I was crying when to my eyes the skyline rose.
It's not like I've never seen it,
It's just I've never seen it with these eyes before.
I'd be a stranger to my own ghost, if she saw me.
