lyrics

My pain is shakin' all the leaves down
The trees turn all my dreams brown even when I'm on the swoon
My head is strung up in the rafters
Filled with bullets from the laughter me and my lover grew

Before I go I will not let a tear down
So don't let one down for me now
You will be with me soon
My life has been a game of waitin'
And now I'm anticipatin'
To dance with you like we were never doomed

And there's god and time the revelator
And it makes it hard to hate her
and the morning shakes me new
At night I try to keep the light on
Come the day I keep the fight on
And to burn what doesn't matter when we're through

I'm pretty sure my blood has been a thinnin'
From the bread that I'm not winnin'
And the days I flew the coop
Worry thoughts I've tried to be a mendin'
'Cause the days that Ive been bendin'
Won't fit into my spoon
One day I swear I'll long to have a daughter
And not fill my lungs with water
Or buy another life
The river home is always gettin' longer
And my rope is gettin' stronger
And I never though that I would need a knife
