You said you're gonna let go And I know what you want And I came here to tell you You're gonna get lonely I know your minds made up There's no use in all this You brought all your books about the wildlife and vegetation Promise me you can tell now what might kill you And what might sustain you So where do I fit in And how long is this plan To be living like a runaway Well you crossed the border Hours after summers spurt Hitched a ride from a man With more dogs than teeth in his mouth He gifted you his buck knife And I swear with tongue and cheek But you're no stake born into the ground And now you've got on your brown boots That your grandfather gave you Told you that he wore them in the war And all I have is this letter And the ashes of the money you burned Before you walked up out the door So tell what happens When the babbling brook runs dry And mother nature shrugs her shoulders And tell me are you happy Or is it only real when shared Is it only real when shared See honey I miss you And the world does to Now there's no saving you Now there's no saving you And honey I loved you And the world did too Your pride just swallowed you Pride just swallowed you whole
