Debit Heartstrings

{ambient acoustic guitar

picking} {faraway steel slide guitar swell} (ahhhh) (hmmmmm) I built a castle

on a promise in the clay

Thought I could sweep the heavy reckoning away

But every morning brings a bill I cannot pay (hmm)

And the interest keeps on climbing to the sky

{subtle Hammond organ swell} I'm running out of truth,

running out of time

I owe too much to the shadow on the floor

I owe too much,

can't keep tracking up the score

Every ledger line is knocking at my door

(oh,

I owe too much)

I traded hours

for a silver-plated ring

But in the winter cold it didn't mean a thing

Now I'm the collector of the songs I cannot sing

{instrumental guitar solo} {soaring weeping slide guitar} {drums

dynamic

build}

I owe too much to the shadow on the floor

I owe too much,

can't keep tracking up the score

Every ledger line is knocking at my door

(yeah, I owe too much)

{guitars fade down}

Just a debt in the dirt...

Owe too much... {single acoustic guitar chord ring

out} {fade to silence}
