I was 13th at the table when the wine was passed around
Amid an air of suspicion my glance was meet with callous frowns
If I was superstitious I'd be the black cat no one wants hang'n round
Dark whispers in the hallway accusations out of bitter mouths
Strange figures in the doorway a dog barks a drunkard's laugh
There's screaming in the kitchen glass breaks just then the lights go out
Let winter chase butterflies
Let the child believe in lies
Let the road run by my door
I can't stay here anymore
I won't, I won't turn back at my dreams burning on the side of the road
Sometimes it just goes like that
Falling or flying , star or stone
Close the window I just can't hear the highway anymore
Lay beside me and let our fires burn until the dawn
Oh, oh
A telephone was ringing a heavy price on the other line
Outside the window a comet shoots across the sky
Between love and hope and money
There's loss and pain and honey
So take a spoonful every time
And if you don't like what you see
Don't come running to me
Cause I'm bound to my own way
I'm a million miles away
I won't I won't turn back see my dreams burning on the side of the road
Sometimes it just goes like that
Falling or flying , star or stone
