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}
