Gm F C
Where do you run when your life’s on the line?
Gm F C
Nowhere to cling to, to focus your mind

Noise in your brain

Words on the page

Bury the needle past marrow and bone

Relax into meadows neath stars dead and gone

To cope with your loss

And pay off the cost
Chorus:
Gm D Gm C
Though my love there was no place to hide

We both know that you tried

Look down from above

And keep them safe

Keep them sound

Keep them deep in your heart

In joining them you left us before your time

Youth preserved on your face

They say you hung from the boughs of the pines

An empty shell for your lover to find

Your head on my chest

Keep you deep in my heart
