One Way Conversation Lyrics by Gary Louris

Jump for Joy

2021

[Verse 1]
As I sit in silence, listening to the space
The space that has no edges
Not a trace
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Just one single conversation face to face
[Chorus 1]
In that one defining moment
Will I stand or will I fall?
I'd like to think that we would
Would have made it after all
[Verse 2]
Once again I substitute you for the truth
And I lean upon the crutch that I call you
Lost in the waves
Lost in the waves
And a string of long-forgotten yesterdays
[Chorus 2]
And the last thing I remember
There was ringing in my ears
Then I closed my eyes in wonder
And it all just disappeared
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
A Salvation Army blanket kept us warm
Though the cloth was thin
And every corner worn
[Chorus 1]
In that one defining moment
Will I stand or will I fall?
I'd like to think that we would
Would have made it after all
[Outro]
It's a one-way conversation
Just a one-way conversation
It's a one-way conversation
Just a one-way conversation
It's a one-way conversation
Just a one-way conversation
