[00:42.520] |
She lifts her skirt up to her knees |
[00:45.830] |
Walks through the garden of roses with her bare feet laughing |
[00:54.130] |
I never learned to count my blessings |
[00:57.620] |
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters |
[01:06.510] |
I walk on down the hill |
[01:09.200] |
Through grass grown tall and brown |
[01:12.440] |
And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain |
[01:18.760] |
On past the busted back and |
[01:21.590] |
Of that old and rusted Cadillac |
[01:24.110] |
That sinks into this field collecting rain |
[01:29.830] |
Will I always feel this way? |
[01:41.410] |
So empty, so estranged |
[01:58.870] |
Of these cutthroat busted sunsets |
[02:02.260] |
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary |
[02:10.250] |
If through my cracked and dusty dime store lips |
[02:14.210] |
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me |
[02:22.340] |
Lay your blouse across the chair |
[02:25.930] |
Let fall the flowers from your hair |
[02:28.710] |
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain |
[02:34.690] |
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves |
[02:38.630] |
To me it sounds like they're applauding us |
[02:42.330] |
The quiet love we make |
[02:46.420] |
Will I always feel this way? |
[02:58.810] |
So empty, so estranged |
[03:45.550] |
Well I looked my demons in the eyes |
[03:48.980] |
Laid bare my chest said do your best destroy me |
[03:57.190] |
See I've been to hell and back so many times |
[04:01.530] |
I must admit you kinda bore me |
[04:09.420] |
There's a lot of things that can kill a man |
[04:12.510] |
There's a lot of ways to die |
[04:15.090] |
Yes and some already dead who walk beside me |
[04:21.310] |
There's a lot of things I don't understand |
[04:24.140] |
Why so many people lie |
[04:26.950] |
Well it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me |
[04:33.330] |
Will I always feel this way? |
[04:45.020] |
So empty, so estranged |
