Lyrics

Normal Again

I remember an old sheet draped over your shoulders

How the moonlight held to ya as you walked across my floor

You kissed my face gently and I swore I's in heaven

But heaven's forever, and we are no more

Oh heaven's forever, now we're no more


So I packed my things, headed out westward

But your memory bought a train ticket and beat me out here

It was waiting for me in my new apartment

Heard the softest of footsteps on an alien floor

Heard your ancient footsteps on this alien floor

Chrs.
Now I'm drying my eyes with a cotton-mouth tongue

Whisper to myself don't think about her

For if I could do that and be rid of this pain

I'd be normal again,

Normal again.


Most days I'm ruined, shaking in public

From one too many well drinks and memories I can't use

Don't hate ya darlin' For you were too long there with me

Say the softest of prayers anytime I think of you

Said I say a soft prayer when I think of you

I hope you say a soft prayer when you think of me too.
