Pale Rose - Dirtwater

North coast swells I feel it when the cold comes in Run red deer You'll need to when they hunt your skin Evening came To the corners of my mind again Cold and clean A ringing on an open plain But it seems so long, my friend My memory is all but gone Back to my whispering mind Pale sun rose A shimmer on that dusty morn Wheel will turn Spinning and my past will burn But it seems so long, my friend My memory is all but gone Back to my whispering mind I'll wait in the tall grass While the Earth, it slowly spins I recall some other place, son Of the time just for the moment And it's been this way for a thousand years or more But I'm starting to forget I'm starting to forget

The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be stronger I have to try To break free from the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can't say Goodbye, have to make it right I have to fight 'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades Away, it will be alright I know should realize Time is precious it is worthwhile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it will be alright Have to stand up to be stronger I have to try To break free from the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can't say Goodbye, have to make it right I have to fight 'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades Away, it will be alright Oh, this night is too long Have no strength to go on No more pain, I'm floating away Through the mist I see the face Of an Angel, who calls my name I remember you're the reason I have to stay I have to try to break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can say Goodbye, have to make it right I have to fight Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades Away, it will be alright

If you were born here Deep in these age old woods You would know a thing of trees and deer And wouldn't want to leave and stay for good In these woods I'll never be alone In these woods Is what I call my home If you'd look closely here you would see We got a bunch of legends here I would never trade these pines 'Cause these woods is where I'll want to die In these woods The life I can call mine In these woods Is where I want to die In these woods The life I can call mine In these woods Is where I want to die

When the first light hits the morning He rolls himself into another minute of sleep When the bell cracks the silence This familiar pain comes back as the days before He puts on his boots and his black coat To walk the same old road like he always did A rolled up smoke cold cup of coffee And one last kiss for the next ten hours or so Every day living a low life Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream Every day living a low life Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream He's got nothing in his pockets All the cash he'd earned he spent To buy his blue eyed darling A shiny ring to keep her at his side As he comes home from the coal mine He finds her with another man inside That's how life puts him to test He turns his head and goes for the best Every day living a low life Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream Every day living a low life Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream

Early in the morning before the rooster crows I lie awake and think about my soul All the years have gone by all the memories are worn The further way almost seems forlorn The preacher prayed, the devil grinned The celestial choir sang the hymn But the great door man won't let me in 'Cause heaven to me is just another place to sin I drained all the high hopes in every bitter brew I found Hit the bottom of the glass for my last round All those bygone lovers vanish from my mind My bags are packed headin' for the other side The preacher prayed, the devil grinned The celestial choir sang the hymn But the great door man won't let me in 'Cause heaven to me is just another place to sin
