Already Gone Lyrics

The cold air came curling on up from the cracks in the floor

Scuffed up by dogs that don't live here no more

And in the morning comes memories and it came to me then

But the things you're remembering wrong are forgotten

Her hair carried smoke from the north wind up from the shore

There's no way around this whole lake anymore

Then a ricochet over the water, a crack in the sky

When did you know you were already gone?

Eyes that mirror the distance, squinting into the wind

Blown from those places we've already been

At this table a longtime and it's starting to snow

An old crossword puzzle with still many letters to know

Stones that held ground against glaciers ground into sand

When did you know you were already gone

Screen door left swinging all night, shovel stuck in the dirt

The light on the lawn missing shadows

The last time we talked was at midnight or likely beyond

The static of the record player spinning when the last songs are gone

The lake was so perfectly still and then you threw a stone

When did you know you were already gone?
