Fences and Moths

Your headlights hit the porch and died

He checked my plastic card twice

Walked out mid-shift to the fence line

Under the moths in the static light

Were we just a summer spark?

(summer spark) Fading in the gravel yard?

(gravel yard)

Now the truck is running cold

And the story is already told

Left the keys on the dashboard tray

You watched the dust just drift away

Behind the chain-link by the highway road

No words left for the heavy load

Were we just a summer spark?

(summer spark) Fading in the gravel yard?

(gravel

yard)

Now the truck is running cold

And the story is already told (is already told)

Already

told

(already told)
