1
My first recollection is a day in December
2
black iron steam engine covered in ice
3
like some Precambrian monster
4
moaning and snorting
5
Nothing was ever going to beat that beast
6
in a fair fight
7
I've sat and watched the woodpiles
8
grow through the summer
9
now I'm sitting, smelling summer burn through the fall
10
Winter's coming on, days getting dreary
11
and I'm thinking this is the season
12
that I leave you all
13
I've heard a man in crisis
14
falls back on what he knows best,
15
a murderer to murder
16
a thief to theft
17
And I don't want you to think
18
that this is some kind of deathbed confession
19
but run is what I did when put to the test
20
My first recollection is a day in December
21
747 tracing lines through the sky
22
like some old gypsy curse
23
silently preying upon the dreams of those
24
who jealously watch life pass by
25
I've sat and watched my troubles
26
pile through the summer
27
now I'm sitting, hearing my youngest cry
28
down the hall
29
Winter's coming on, days getting dreary
30
and I'm thinking this is the season
31
that I leave you all
32
I've heard that the son must bear
33
the burdens of the father
34
but it's the daughter that is left
35
to clean up the mess
36
And I don't want you to think
37
that I'm asking for absolution,
38
but run is what I did when put to the test
