Wedding Ring

I stare at loneliness, an old man with a hat, boots, and tie
He whispers stupid things that don't mean anything at all
And I would take the silence but only if it brought me to you
Maybe then we'd both lie still, we'd go down the landfill of days

And I can tell it's it tonight, the jacket's right, the shoes, the shave
Your face in silhouette is close as I can ever get to home

I wanna take you out
And wear you like a wedding ring 'round town

The stars look bright tonight in sprinkling, moonlight rays
Batten tight down in the car, we've come so far to still drive on
The exit's up ahead it's round it's red, it's blocking the sky
You wear me on your arm--your good luck charm, your proud and only one

I wanna write my name
In the margins of your family Bible
I wanna take you out
And wear you like a wedding ring 'round town

I stare at loneliness, an old man with a hat, boots, and tie
He whispers stupid things 'bout what morning brings
But I'm through with him tonight
