The same artist who made TOUCHED covers.
We slept under your mother's quilt and drew pictures on paper bags
Of birds we'd seen in Tennessee the time we lost our map
But there are bears in the balcony in the drunken dream I had
They climbed up there; they came for me and left only the whiskey glass.
I'll love you, baby, but I know you don't understand
When the highway takes me, I ain't coming back
The best I've slept in a long time is when I was in your bed
But tonight I'll whisper 'goodbye' as you lay there.
If they send the wolves, I'll join the wolves and I'll return some day with my teeth sharper and my blood hotter.
I'll be the dog by your grave with a hanging tongue and a ribcage and a chewed-up tail
Howling with my last exhale
An army of lovers cannot fail.
