lyrics

Think before you say that do you want to go there
She asked me and the question lingered in the air
Heard all the things you love all the things you can’t stand
What is it, then, that’s keeping you from takin my hand
Your passion has no discretion all your reasons temporary
She said to me abused like a dirty mine canary
I searching for a clue looked out across the field
The wind offered nothing like a fate long-sealed
A broken soul is still alive in pieces but the same
Reaching out in all directions for serenity or blame
I knew not what I’d found when your world came into mine
But I can find the words if you can make the time
With the back of her hand she hid the sun from her eyes
Looked up to me saw straight through my disguise she said
Santa Fe to Burlington every railroad has its end
Darlin with a one-way ticket I ain’t goin back to where I been
A spade wasn’t a spade till I learned to call it so
May you sing beneath the sun may you tumble in the snow
Santa Fe to Burlington my darlin you are on the move
I’ll find you again with nothing then to lose
END
