The Gathering Field

Another Man

The Gathering Field


There is an ocean in the sky
The road is a river
The shoulder I'm following is crumbling

Started as only half a lie
Indian summer
It was my fortune I was gambling
Oh I was gambling

My life turned off the road ahead
But now I know what I woulda said
If I was twice as old and knew of a better plan
If I was only - Another Man

There is a road sign I pass by
There is a pay phone
There is a secret that I'm harboring

Idle the car and dim the lights
Ain't it familiar
All of these things that keep reminding me
I was gambling

My life turned off the road ahead

Light up a smoke and close my eyes
Drop in the coins and dial
To hear your voice one more time
Drop the phone and drive
Drive

My life turned off the road ahead
But now I know what I woulda said
If I was twice as old and strong enough to stand
If I was only, if I was only
If I was only -- Another Man
