| [00:22.32] |
I made a promise to not let go |
| [00:26.97] |
Our tug of war has only made me want you more |
| [00:30.29] |
|
| [00:33.91] |
Steeped in hard luck and doomed to roam |
| [00:39.29] |
My love is braver than you know |
| [00:43.98] |
|
| [00:45.35] |
My forefathers they worked this land |
| [00:47.66] |
|
| [00:50.48] |
And I was schooled in the tyranny of nature's plans |
| [00:53.35] |
|
| [00:57.63] |
Dressed in thunder a cloud came round |
| [01:03.67] |
In the shape of a lion a hand came down |
| [01:06.16] |
|
| [01:09.17] |
Damn this valley Damn this cold |
| [01:11.42] |
|
| [01:14.26] |
Take so long to let me know |
| [01:20.23] |
It's plant and reap and plow and sow |
| [01:23.78] |
|
| [01:26.96] |
But tell me will it grow |
| [01:30.22] |
|
| [01:46.21] |
Dig my ditches in the golden sun |
| [01:48.65] |
|
| [01:51.53] |
I'd be robbing these trains if I could catch me one |
| [01:55.09] |
|
| [01:57.97] |
Sunday Monday now Tuesday's gone |
| [02:00.47] |
|
| [02:03.60] |
Got me stone cold sober n a drought so long |
| [02:06.91] |
|
| [02:09.47] |
Boarded mansions and ghost filled yards |
| [02:12.10] |
|
| [02:14.77] |
There's a boy in a water tower counting cars |
| [02:18.27] |
|
| [02:22.09] |
Steel traps open and empty stalls |
| [02:25.10] |
|
| [02:26.73] |
There's a well-worn saddle but the horse is gone |
| [02:29.41] |
|
| [03:24.32] |
Jet black starlit midnight rolls |
| [03:26.20] |
|
| [03:29.69] |
I am down in the garden where I let go |
| [03:32.20] |
|
| [03:35.92] |
Here on the surface the earth looks round |
| [03:38.73] |
|
| [03:41.54] |
But it's a godless city of cold flat ground |
