Danny Came Up - Prep

Life lived in paragraphs

Love like it’s measured on the page

Rub the messy thoughts away

And start again

I heard you’d settled back down

Done up some old abandoned place

Somewhere no one else can find you

Danny came up

He sat right down as he gave me the news

Said he’s better, better off alone

Asked him how you were, but I guess I’ll never know

Cracked glass and buzzing lights

The low notes when trucks pass in the night

Always said you had some silence to find

The sun’s up but not for long

Can see there’s a fog that’s blowing in

Guess it’s not a day for driving

Danny came up

He sat right down as he gave me the news

Said he’s better, better off alone

You’d been out of love for so long

Danny came up

He said you’d asked him to give me the news

He looked older, like he’s running low

Asked him how you were, but I guess I’ll never know

Not tonight

There’s mist on the causeway

Not tonight

They’ve closed off the highway

Not tonight

The boat came in too late

Danny came up

He sat right down as he gave me the news

Said he’s better, better off alone

You’d been out of love for so long

Danny came up

He said you’d asked him to give me the news

He looked older, like he’s running low

Asked him how you were, but I guess I’ll never know
