12,000 Lines Songtext
von Big Thief

Crossed 12,000 lines lookin′ 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

Some nights, barely breathin' at all
Waitin′ for my woman to call


Cross 12 letters down, found the longest word
This mornin', I'd heard
Somebody said they saw you ′round 1st and 23rd
Blue feathers in your hairdo

Some nights, barely breathin′ at all
Waitin' for my woman to call
Maple cherry leaves start to fall
Waitin′ for my woman to call

Sweet honey, stirrin' in my tea
You′rе stirrin' me
Forgiveness, all thе money in the world
Won′t buy it

Some nights, barely breathin' at all
Waitin' for my woman to call
