Useless

I walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train
With a million other faces I shoot through the city veins
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend
You wanted to be free
Somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I want to be

How the sky turns to fire against a telephone wire
And even I'm getting tired of useless desires

Patty Griffin

it's only a few more weeks til the year mark of all this and the lessons unlearned and the uglyness revealed and the sadness still deep. but i don't think i need an anniversary to make the words end.
