Kissed the car made out of your lips I polished it until it shone I saved every dollar I made I saved every dollar I made. I buried your heart at the crossroads Where the milestones mark the way And the dew fell across the stones And the way to your grave. I met you at the crossroads In nineteen-thirty-four I met you down by the crossroads I met you there. I saw you that morning Dead roses in your hair And a bunch of nettles in your hand The smile on your face said you didn't care. I met you at the crossroads Where the milestones mark the way And a box of roses was all that was left To show the way to your grave. I rode off with you in the cadillac I stole all the arrows as well I rode off with you in the cadillac With another tale to tell. I buried your heart at the crossroads Where the milestones mark the way I buried your heart at the jericho tree And no-one knows what to say to me now Not to me now Not to me now Not to me now. And down by the crossroads I still wait somedays I wonder if you'll ever return How long I have to wait. Been waiting for twenty years now They say you're dead or in jail But who cares honey I'll find you again someday. And one day I'll wake up And I'll bury your heart Yea one day I'll wake up And make a new start.
