Rosanne Cash My Least Favorite Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don't
Kiss holds a million deceits
And lifetime goes up in smoke

[Verse 2]
This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The night that I twist on the rack
Is the time that I feel most at home

[Chorus]
We're wandering in the shade
And the rustle of falling leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love in a sweet memory

[Verse 3]
The station pulls away from the train
The blue pulls away from the sky
The whisper of two broken wings
Maybe they're yours, maybe they're mine

[Verse 4]
This is my least favorite life
The one where I'm out of my mind
The one where you're just out of reach
The one where I stand and you fly

[Chorus]
I'm wandering in the shade
And the rustle of falling leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love in a sweet memory
