 Intro /// x2

Lord, I miss that girl

On the day we met the sun was shining down

Down on the valley

 Riddled with horses running

Crushing them with flowers

I would have picked for her

 On the day she was born

She runs through my veins like a long black river

 And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm

Oh my soul

What does it mean?

 What does it mean?

 What does it mean to be so sad?

When someone you love

 Someone you love is supposed to make you happy

What do you do

 How do you keep love alive?

When it won't

What, what are the words

 They use when they know it's over

"We need to talk," or

 "I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"

I would've held your mother's hand

 On the day you was born

She runs through my veins

 Like a long black river and rattles my cage

Like a thunderstorm

Oh, my soul

What does it mean?

 What does it mean?

 What does it mean to be so sad?

When someone you love

 Someone you love is supposed to make you happy

What do you do

 How do you keep love alive?

When it won't

How do you keep love alive?

End on G
