it was this sickness that was bringing him down
he didn't wanna go nowhere, tried to scatter like a hound
there were no treatment in this whole wide land
that could bring him up, he was damned
headed to the station from the face of this world
hop a little black train and waved goodbye his girl
it was this sickness that was bringing him down
he didn't wanna go nowhere, tried to scatter like a hound
there were no treatment in this whole wide land
that could bring him up, he was damned
headed to the station from the chapel of love

a year ago today
you made a promise to me
that we would grow old together
now, where are you today?
while i sit here wondering
oh, where you are today
i know it's not your fault either
that you
slipped into the ether
you lost your whole wide world

:did you hear the news?
me and my old friends don't talk
:jim's in trouble, he's going to jail
jim what'd'ya do this time?
:he robbed a store,
choked her out and laid her out on the floor
:jim's in trouble, a couple years in the pen
jim what'd'ya do this time?
:he robbed a store,
said he brought in a long gun and laid her out on the floor
around the counter he shortened up the register
and someone walked in, he made a break for the door
then he got busted
jim what'd'ya do that for?
there's a lot of air between jim's ears
a lot of wind blowing around
sometimes we speculate that there's nothing at all,
but wind,
howling

but i still love him
and that's what cousins are for

the ghost is beside me, i feel it inside me
that he's telling me what to do
i won't ever not listen, i see myself in you
the way that you glisten, i wish i were you
on pinetree lake i didn't see you anywhere
i was expecting for you to be there
a full moon was rising early in august
i was laying on my back, i saw the wind blow through the trees
i thought it was you running through the evergreen,
oh, how i wish it were you
on pinetree lake i didn't see you anywhere
i was expecting you to be there
won't you follow me down, we've got nowhere to go
you were walking on god's dirt, we were late to the show

i hope you found
your place in the stars
the star that you are
the star you always were
down here on the ground
where we say, we pray
we hope you found your place in the stars
open your eyes,
when you open your eyes
can you feel the stars inside?
you're a star in my eye

it was too much
and what a fall it was
when you were walking out
you forgot to leave the key,
now when i'm with someone else
i'm afraid you'll come back in
it was after the summer
and what a fall it was
i was thinking about
how it was like your hair,
for something changing colour
it seemed so colourless
i drank too much
and what a fall it was
what if all of us
forget it just this once

if i have a dog
i'll call him hank
and if i have a cow
i'll call her paint
and i'll marry a country star
we'll live out our days
in the countryside
with the spirit on our side
play guitar,
and count our lucky stars

send me the address to your heart
i don't want you to leave me all night
send me the address to your heart
i dont want you to leave me
driving the corn in while the spirit waits
i didn't expect things to be this way
just when i'm dreaming i can see your face
together in a big blue lake
the country doctor sings us lullabies
send me the address to your heart
i don't want you to leave me all night
send me the address to your heart
i dont want you to leave me
my morning sun
it's good to have you back again
some nights just get so dark it's plain hard to see
and when they're harvesting in a little country town
their boys not around, but the picking goes on
send me the address to your heart
i don't want you to leave me all night
send me the address to your heart
i dont want you to leave me
i hate to see you leaving me
hold that feeling in your heart
i'll walk your things out to the car
i won't forget the way things are
and sing that song that sings to you
i'll sing it all night long
send me the address to your heart
i don't want you to leave me all night
send me the address to your heart
i dont want you to leave me
send me the address to your heart
i hate to see you leaving me

now you're just running free
now you're just a willow tree
standing tall and strong by the lake
in that grassy meadow where the summer flowers go
you and that old yellow dog
