[Verse 1] There’s a lantern in the window And some bourbon on the shelf One flame burns at the threshold Casting shadows of itself The sky is wide And the moon feels like a wound The cicadas sing in chorus Let ‘em sing me home [Chorus] There’s a place A crooked place And when I reach it That’s where I’ll stay ⸻ [Verse 2] There’s a stack of ghost-worn letters Tied with twine and ancient dust A warm fire and a threadbare Coat she left behind in trust It’s a place to set your burdens And remember how to breathe It’s been whisperin’ forever And I think I hear it now [Chorus] From that place That crooked place And when I reach it That’s where I’ll stay Yeah, when I reach it That’s where I’ll stay Hey ⸻ [Post-Chorus] When I reach it That’s where I’ll stay When I reach it That’s where I’ll stay When I reach it That’s where I’ll stay When I reach it That’s where I’ll stay When I reach it That’s where I’ll stay ⸻ [Chorus] There’s a place A crooked place And when I reach it That’s where I’ll stay There’s a place A crooked place And when I reach it That’s where I’ll stay There’s a place A crooked place And when I reach it That’s where I’ll stay There’s a place A crooked place And when I reach it That’s where I’ll stay
