Close the door on a short night
Lift the lid on the daylight
6:09 West Tennessee time
And I buy all my days
At the same place where the girl sells her nights
To a God of ocean tides.
All night long,
Writing poems to California
Melodies of failure
And the people I have thrown away
Meanwhile, somewhere west of Carolina
In a congregation of strangers
We are digging holes to China
Then we pray to our reflections
In the water when it rises.
I said headlights pin the highway down
Jesus spins the world around
And I’ll spend all my tomorrows coming down
Goodbye all my days.
I know I said I never loved you
But I might just try again tonight.
Truck stops and river Gods
Gas stations of the Cross
Following a ghost,
Following a ghost,
I pray the water wash away
The memories and the cost.
Cary me south, to the sea
Along with your memories of me
We are born in the water
Now we return to Thee.
Colored lights
And birthday cakes
Candle wax
On paper plates.
Breathe the water
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye.
You can see through water
All the way up to the sky.
Gods of water, Gods of rain
Cover up the sun again
We are crossing it at the Mississippi line
And I tried all my days
To love you just the way you hoped I might,
But I’m leaving here tonight.
I can’t remember yesterday
I tried, if I said I could I lied.
Counting Crows is an American rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1989. Their sound is characterized by catchy melodies, introspective lyrics, and a strong folk-rock influence. After years of performing in clubs, the band signed with Geffen Records in 1993. Their debut album, *August and Everything After*, became an international success thanks to the single «Mr. Jones», achieving multi-platinum status. The success brought intense pressure on frontman Adam Duritz, who suffered a nervous breakdown. This difficult period is reflected in their subsequent album, *Recovering the Satellites* (1996). Over the years, Counting Crows have continued to release successful albums such as *This Desert Life* (2002) and *Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings* (2008), maintaining a loyal following thanks to their authentic music and Duritz's charisma. Some of the band's most representative songs include «Round Here», «A Long December» and «Anna Begins».
