This is a beautiful story in song form by one of my favorite songwriters that I've been listening to since I was 13.
It's called Landlocked Blues by Bright Eyes.
So get yourself some coffee, make yourself comfy, and I'll tell you a story.
[G] [D] [G]
If you walk away, I'll walk away.
First tell me [Dm] which road [G] you will take.
[Em] I don't wanna [G] risk our paths [Em] crossing someday.
[G] So you walk that way, I'll walk this way.
And the future hangs over our heads, and it moves with each current event.
[Em] Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain.
[G] Just stay in [D] when it's looking [G] this way.
And the moon's laying low in the sky, forcing everything metal to shine.
[Em] And the sidewalk hold diamonds like a jewel story case.
[G] They argue, walk [D] this way now, [G] walk this way.
And Laura's asleep in my bed.
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says,
I [Em] dreamed you were carried [D] away [G] on the [Em] crest of a wave.
[G] Oh baby don't go away, come here.
And the kids playing guns in the streets.
And one's pointing his tree branch at me.
[Em] So I put my [D] hands up, [G] I say enough [Em] is enough.
[G] If you [D] walk away, I'll [G] walk away.
[Em] [D] I found a liquid [G] cure [Em] from my [G] landlocked blues.
[C] Oh [D] it'll pass away like [G] a slow parade.
It's leaving but I don't know how soon.
And the world's got me dizzy again.
You'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin.
[Em] And it [Gm] only feels worse when I stay [Em] in one place.
[G] So I'm always pacing around or walking away.
I keep [D] drinking the ink from [G] my pen.
And I'm balancing history books up on my head.
[Em] Oh but it all boils down to one quotable phrase.
[G] If you love something, give it away.
A good woman will pick you apart.
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart.
[Em] But you may be offended and you may be afraid.
[G] [E] But don't walk [D] away, don't walk [G] away.
We made love on the living room floor.
With the noise in the background of a televised [Em] war.
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say.
[G] If we walk away, they'll walk away.
Oh but greed is a bottomless pit.
And our freedom's the joke we're just taking a piss.
[Em] And the whole world must watch as the comics are displayed.
[G] If you're still free then start running away.
I've grown tired of holding this pose.
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home.
[E] So I'm making a [G] deal with the devils of fame.
Saying let me walk away, please.
You'll [E] be free, child, [G] once you have died.
From the chuckles of language and measurable [Em] time.
And we can trade places, play musical graves.
Until then, walk away, [G] walk away.
[Em] So [G] I'm up at dawn, [Em] putting [D] on my [G] shoes.
[C] I just [D] wanna [G] make a clean [Em] escape.
I'm [D] leaving, but I don't know where [G] to.
[Em] I know I'm leaving, [D] but I don't know [G] where to.
