lyrics

Well we made it through
Like a cannonball shot across the sky
And the wrought iron gates
Couldn’t hold me back as I pried

And the green grass on the other side
Ceased growing when you came through the darkness into the light

Sometimes it’s like walking through the desert
Counting the grains of sand
When you’re a lonely ship
Disguised as a man

Well if one is by land
And two is by sea
I’d rather sink with you
Than get my feet stuck in the sand

And I can hear your freight train coming
Like a slow rolling fog across the river
You scratch me like a record
Worn to the groove
I’m just a chess piece without any moves

Sundown and we’re alone
Like wildflowers in the burning fields
We’ll make it to the next town
Kick the dust from our heels

And hand in hand we’ll make it to tomorrow
‘Cause my love for you, babe is final

And I can hear your freight train coming
Like a slow rolling fog across the river
You pump the blood
Through my heart
Your lovin’ makes me fall apart
Your lovin’ babe
Makes me fall apart
