Drip Dry Heart

from Twilight Songs by Andrew Rodger

about

Drip Dry Heart was partly inspired by the fact that I was living in an unfinished basement of a rental house, next to the laundry room, with sparks lighting up in the ceiling wires on a nightly basis. I felt like the lifeguard of the laundry room. It was, shall we say, an interesting time!

As life spun around me, not exactly on the path I thought it would, I couldn't help but think, "Hey, let's go for another spin and see what happens next!"

lyrics

Lately I’ve found myself
Living in a clothes dryer
My vertigo tells me to stop but we set the controls for permanent press
And my
My drip dry heart shouts
Let’s go round again
My drip dry heart shouts
Let’s go round again
My drip dry heart shouts
It shouts
It shouts
My drip dry heart shouts

So tobacco burns tonight
I watch from on high where meteors fly
Twilight is my sunrise
Sunrise is my bedtime sleep tight
Fate’s filled with fog
Volume volume you turn up the volume
Fate’s filled with fog
Volume volume you turn up the volume
Actions speak louder than words
Words then can trap you
Like a bird in an hourglass
Her eyes speak of action
Her eyes speak of action
In that smiling sort of way
Her eyes speak of action
But dreams don’t linger like they used to

Thank you for flying me home
Thank you for flying me home
Thank you for flying me home
Thank you
Thank you
My drip dry heart shouts
It shouts
It shouts
My drip dry heart shouts

So tobacco burns tonight
I watch from on high where meteors fly
Wind whips waves of sunshine
Against what will be a new coastline
From up here the sun rises every twenty three minutes
From up here the sun rises every twenty three minutes
Did I tell you I feel the tornadoes
Reaching up through the earth
Reaching up towards the heavens
But heaven’s at her fingertips
Her eyes speak of action
In that smiling sort of way
Her eyes speak of action
But dreams don’t linger like they used to

Thank you for flying me home
Thank you for flying me home
Thank you for flying me home
Thank you
Thank you
My drip dry heart shouts
Let’s go round again
My drip dry heart shouts
Let’s go round again

My drip dry heart shouts
It shouts
It shouts
My drip dry heart shouts
