maybe when the world gets weak sagging at the edge of town or leaning from a lack of sleep or maybe when the talk gets cheap beneath it you will hear a sound something that you just might keep maybe before you go to sleep you can wind back the hours we were lying in your mama's yard neither of us made a sound if you see me and I'm on my knees could you meet me when the world gets meet me when the world gets could you meet me when the world gets weak? when the local weather girl just weeps and the cameras turn off for hours and no one dared forecast showers or when the floorboards start to speak about the people who moved to town and you move your ear toward the ground or maybe before you go to sleep you can wind back the hours we were lying in your mama's yard neither of us heard a sound if you see me and I'm on my knees could you meet me when the world gets weak? because nobody should hold the breath that you blow it rises off the streets and up above could you meet me when the world gets weak-sagging at the edge of town or leaning from a lack of zzz.
