Avery

She holds his clothes in the dark
Rocking them she whispers
Her hand falls slowly from her neck into the ground
To the left a streetlight dances gently though the window
It hurts to say his name
She swears she can hear him callin' her
Hey Avery
There between her craving and imagination
She falls into the night
The air is still
And he's still callin' her
Hey Avery, is there room enough for me?
It's been so long
Is there somethin' you should say to me?
Avery
Pity drives her down
This candle burning out
She thought it was the answer
Pity ties her down
The years are burning out
She thought it was the answer
Her cross still hanging in the corner
She's afraid to take it down
It reminds her she's gotta start life over
Hey Avery, is there room enough for me?
It's been so long
Is there somethin' you should say to me?
Avery
Pity drives her down
This candle burning out
She thought it was the answer
Pity ties her down
Years are burning out
She's dying from the answer
She wears his picture on a chain
She prays that the pain won't last forever
And I know that she's still prayin' that the pain won't last forever
There between her craving and imagination
She's fallen into the night
The air is still and he's still callin'
Hey Avery, Hey Avery, Hey Avery
Why wasn't there room enough for me?
