Lord, I miss that girl
On the day we met the sun was shining down
Down on the valley
Riddled with horses running
Crushing them with flowers
I would have picked for her
On the day she was born
She runs through my veins like a long black river
And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm
Oh my soul
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
What, what are the words
They use when they know it's over
"We need to talk," or
"I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"
I would've held your mother's hand
On the day you was born
She runs through my veins
Like a long black river and rattles my cage
Like a thunderstorm
Oh, my soul
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
How do you keep love alive?

the eternal heart-ache in all of us.
It's midnight, at the Starlite Diner
You said meet me at a corner to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Wishing you were here in my arms,
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well
Is it possible to love someone too much
You bet
The drugs are in the safe
And the clothes are on the couch, intertwined
But none of them are yours
And all of them are mine
So cry
Cry like a baby into an ocean of wishes
But it don't ever rain
On a street drenched with painted ladies
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well
Have you ever slept it off to the bones
And woken up at night my love
Having dreamt you called them all
Every person you could never love
It's a blow out
On a birthday cake
And I'm a birthday candle
Floating on the lake
Where are you its getting late
Its midnight at the starlite diner
You said meet me at a corner to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Oh there you are
