We're here sipping on this wine, you came in out of the cold
The years between could take a lifetime to be told.
Got to talking about all this talk of growing up and old
Said you've been waiting a long time to be alone.
It's not your fault, we're both at fault, that it's taken years
...you got lost, driving eighteen wheelers.
Don't believe in magic anymore, only this life on the road.
I've been out and back again enough to know the score.
You say I've been living in a dream, I'm old enough to know.
There's a place back in the cab if you'd like to go.
It's not your fault, we're both at fault, that it's taken years
...you just got lost, driving eighteen wheels.

Across the river there's something you forgot
A big piece of your life is floating there
You keep calling but no one ever gets back
Sent a letter around the holidays, got lost in the postal system, hey,
There are better ways to try and reconnect
I can almost feel the weight of all the lives I've lived
These ghosts of the great divide
Turn around and see you standing there with two kids
You were the last of our tribe.
It's been nothing but rain the past few days
When the weight of the world gets in the way
There's hope in this place if you can find it.
I've been trying to find the words to say,
thinking back to the endless golden days.
If you're always looking back, you'll get left behind.
I can almost feel the weight of all the lives I've lived
These ghosts of the great divide
Standing on the edge of something I'll never understand
Is there use in trying?

Out of the darkness, you didn’t notice there was anything wrong.
I was a one time heel, I don’t even care if you’re gone.
Oh where the streets make men, wish I didn’t know what I didn’t then.
There’s another lesson to live, just don’t live it over again.
There was a thunder, if it didn’t clap would you know it was there.
We’re going under, it’s just a thing you’ve been saying all year.
We drive down to the corner store, a pack of licorice, two packs of smokes.
All dressed and nowhere to go, you put your foot, put your foot to the floor.
I was a small-time dealer, you were the midwest zero.
I was the one movin’ on, movin’ on.
Out of the darkness, you didn’t notice there was anything wrong.
I was a one time heel, I don’t even care that you’re gone.
Go where the streets make men, wish I didn’t know what I didn’t then.
There’s another reason to live, just don’t let it happen again.

The Crushing Days London, UK
The Crushing Days is Andrew Clark's current project.
His latest record, Ghosts of the Great
Divide, follows his experiences moving abroad and the time between spent living out of a backpack awaiting visa clearance.
In some ways, it's a record about distance and reconnection. In others, it's about learning how to let go of the places that once defined you.
