Cover art for 46 Days lyrics by Phish

This song is about heroin. Coal is slang for heroin and from the looks of things said person (Trey) was doing heroin for 45 days when it then ran out on Day 46. "looking for clues but the couldn't be found" would mean no one in the town had any Until Day 47 when Leigh found some. The last line is probably a reference to the fear of going through withdrawal.
