Lyrics

[00:40.92] Well, the radio played
[00:43.89] And the bed was made
[00:51.39] And my lover watched the sunlight
[00:54.20] As it crawled into the shade
[01:01.52] To the shade
[01:12.02] And he left the room as softly as he came
[01:20.85] Well, it was not spring
[01:23.91] And it was not in the fall
[01:31.35] Was the middle of the winter
[01:33.85] When he pinned me to the wall
[01:41.48] To the wall
[01:51.78] It was freezin' when he pinned me to the wall
[02:15.30] So I pulled on my coat
[02:18.21] And I sewed up my dress
[02:25.46] As my lover lay there sleepin' well
[02:28.83] I packed my things and left
[02:35.67] When I left
[02:46.10] Well, that sun was barely risin' when I left
[02:54.57] Well, the devil has been known
[02:57.50] To chase angels from their homes
[03:02.16] And I know I've got some angel left inside me
[03:09.07] But my halo's hangin' low
[03:12.45] My halo's hangin' low
[03:16.95] And I'm nine hundred miles from my home
[03:41.25] Well, my cool drink of water
[03:44.00] It's been turned to gasoline
[03:51.32] And my man, he don't love me
[03:53.92] He's the lowest man I've seen
[04:00.98] Well, let your ears hang low
[04:03.99] Hear the sighin' of the crows
[04:08.73] This terrible secret we've been whisperin'
[04:16.17] If you gotta go
[04:18.63] You've gotta go alone
[04:22.99] Tremblin' as the arrow stands the bow
[04:45.80] Oh, before I left
[04:48.97] I watched him as he lay
[04:56.33] Exhausted by the madness that unraveled in his brain
[05:06.05] Well, goodbye darling
[05:09.15] Goodbye darling
[05:14.06] Never will you see me anymore
[05:18.96] Farewell darling
[05:21.83] Farewell darling
[05:27.04] Never will I see you anymore
