Ashtray Monument

Lyrics

Free, alone The predawn white light's coming on Bottle on the nightstand I count disasters on my free hand now Run for cover there's a big one coming You'll be lucky if you're at ground zero No one said that this life was easy Did that no one ever live a life this hard? It gets hard, the bills are scattered in the yard Ashtray monument A life spent waiting in cement comes down After all, it's not that bad I still have pictures, I look back At all the things that we once did You said "I love you" I guess you did Remember our life? I did the dishes while you read out loud Best friends, strangers now Were our kids all we could call common ground?
