upon the rails
among the weeds
i had a moment of
serenity
i saw you stand
in all the green
upon the rusting rail
balancing

you were
the only answer
my plans
spun all around you
five years in the wrong, i am assured
my name to you is just another word

and in your bed
in morristown
you had magazines
thrown around
from under them
the phone it rang
and in the margin there
you wrote the number down

So many great Mike Doughty songs out there, too bad we have to hear this one.
Truly proficient musician- but I've just never been able to get into this guy.

Does this sound like Dave Matthews a bit or is it just me?
Love Mr. Doughty's work from SC through his "small rock" phase
Love the song and the album...
I just saw this guy in Annapolis MD.  Awesome.  Just him on guitar and a cello player.  Go see him!
