It appears we may have finally found a sweet spot
Somewhere between the grove of cedars and the lake
Was that commotion an explosion or a gunshot
A firecracker's just as likely and it's easier to take
Look away look away don't watch me
A silhouette against a watercolor sky
Look away look away don't watch me
From the tall weeds
Don't wait, don't wait
Don't wait up for me tonight
I left my memory in the evergreen
It looks as if we may have come across a camp site
A moldy blanket and the remnants of a fire
An open space illuminated in the moonlight
I'm getting thirsty, kind of sleepy
And I'm starting to perspire
Look away, look away don't watch me
A frightened rabbit wishing it could disappear
Look away, look away don't watch me
From the tall weeds
Don't wait, don't wait
Don't wait up for me tonight
I left my memory in the evergreen
There's a chance we may have landed in an ambush
I took a bullet and I'm bleeding pretty bad
Was that goodbye a salutation or a hard push
I bet my money on the latter and I'm anything but glad
Look away, look away don't watch me
A fellow traveler going anywhere but here
Look away, look away don't watch me
From the tall weeds
Don't wait, don't wait
Don't wait up for me tonight (from the tall weeds)
I left my memory in the evergreen (from the tall weeds)
I don't know your expression in the moonlight (from the tall weeds)
But I still have your picture to remind me
Don't wait, don't wait
(It appears we may have finally found a sweet spot)
