Rosanne Cash - My Least Favorite Life Lyrics

This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don't
Piss holds a million deceits
And lifetime goes up in smoke

This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The night that I twist on the rack
Is the time that I feel most at home

We're wandering in the shade
And the rustle of falling leaves
A bird on the edge of a plate
Lost now forever, my love in a sweet memory

The station pulls away from the train
The blue pulls away from the sky
The whisper of two broken wings
Maybe they're yours, maybe they're mine

This is my least favorite life
The one where I'm out of my mind
The one where you're just out of reach
The one where I stand and you fly

I'm wandering in the shade
And the rustle of falling leaves
A bird on the edge of a plate
Lost now forever, my love in a sweet memory
