Written about Loss, Regrets, Resolve to do better.
Bob's track recorded at Radio City Music Hall

lyrics

used to live on a first floor
lot in a valley of fire
strong red winds would
polish your bones white
it runs through the backyard
runs through the front gate
set the saw and the hammer upon the fire escape

drift away and shift to a
ship with a battened down hatch
looking at an empty room &
what i might have
but put a clean tie on &
put out another plate
set the saw and the hammer upon the fire escape

no safe bets, no checklist,
no likely outcome
nothing we can do to
garantee we've won
we still leave the wallet on the
hood and drive away
set the saw and the hammer upon the fire escape

already live the life the
way it ought to be.
so far seeing everything
as a need to be free
but it's funny how we
don't take a stand for anything.
set the saw and the hammer upon the fire escape

with no way out
no safety net to take
i tie my hand to the mast
when the ship goes down in flames
and there's no bailing out with a busted up fire escape

i loved you more
than the wheat will love the wind
you flow through me
with the blood under my skin
look, as the window lights up
the plans we make
we''ll set the saw and the hammer upon the fire escape
