On Her Doorstep

I started out a little tightly wound Like a rocket shot up out of frozen ground Dirt in my nails, a forest in my head Seems like every message I got said Burn it - Break it She took me in like a broken bird In a moonlit house in a single word We built a cave (or was it a nest?) She did all the driving and all the rest, but I'm not there at all Though I shall recall What she said to me On her doorstep She likes my dad, he knows Gordy Howe He had such a temper- guess who's got it now Watch me explode as we misunderstand Everything that's said on this fiber optic strand I'm not here at all Thoug I shall recall What she said to me On her doorstep When I get back we'll dip our cup Into the fountain of youth We'll rest our heads and raise a toast To the sunset's beautiful truth I lit a fire by the tracks last night Bounced it off the moon Hoping you'd call soon To this phonebook state Where I've been stuck up late Felt just like an a*s when I broke that gla*s I'm not there at all But I will recall What she said to me On her doorstep
