Western Union Desperate Songtext

Chase the demons out of my head
Play me a song and sing me to sleep
And meet me in the middle of my dreams

Well, I've seen the sun rise
From the cliffs at Point Reyes
And I've see it set upon Thunder Bay
But I always keep my compass set on you

When the night comes in
And the stars come out
The highway lines start to wear me out
It'll be ok, 'cause I'm coming back
Home to you

And distant salutations and silly souvenirs
Can't help your twilight loneliness
Or brush away your tears
I'll wire you some love today
There's so much more I want to say
But I'm Western Union desperate
In a pay phone in the rain
And it's so insane
I'm Rimbaud and you're Verlaine

So hey, California, here I come
I got my old backpack and a sunburnt thumb
I hope my compass is tried and true
'Cause when I need a friend, it's still you
Yeah, it's you
I know it's you
