Brand New Sidewalk

<br>(Chris Thile)<br><br>Five years ago, you pressed your hand,<br>Into a brand new sidewalk.<br>It`s well-worn now, and though some chime, <br>Yours is the only print there.<br>You might not have meant to, but<br>It`s done you again, take it out.<br>You`re shy about what fortune lent you.<br>Is that what this is about?<br><br>Smile while you can, `cause when they find,<br>You`re not a muse, not really.<br>They`ll rob you blind, of what they gave.<br>Yes, you gave them that power.<br>You might not have meant to, but,<br>It`s time you can`t take it back.<br>Cry about where fame sent you, oh,<br>Without a plan of attack.<br><br>Five years ago, I warned you, dear,<br>As a concerned admirer.<br>You never knew, you never heard.<br>The veil was still in place.<br>Think how you hate to listen.<br>That would not be you.<br>Lifting the veil to kiss you,<br>Next to a friend who sang war.
