I found out that Jeremiah

Doesn’t live here any more

I can stuff the words

In sausage skins

Or sprinkle them

like sugar on my breakfast

But Jeremiah moved out today

He doesn’t live here any more

 

He went with my permission

I gladly set him free

‘cos we were stirring though the ashes

hopin’ that we’d find

a coal with warmth enough

before I loose my mind

 

The stirrin’ of my mind

Is back inside my head

I know, I know I’m truly me

Just feelin’ quite alive again

An’ livin’ like I see

‘cos Jeremiah my buddy

doesn’t live here any more.

Jeremiah Doesn’t Live Here Any More
