Too Hard to Tell - Dogwood Tales

(Dokken, lynch) We sold our sons and we sold our daughters Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers We took the gold, but the gold was water I tried to save the world, but I failed her She cries the tears that I never left her I left them all behind You were sitting in your darkest hour Summer's gone We tried to make the world so much better We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter You sit alone in your ivory towers I'm just one person, I don't matter You tap the needle, and you went to heaven You left it all behind Now you're feeling oh so better Chorus Too high to fly You should've seen me there (yeah) Too high to fly, my baby But you were almost there The sun shines down on my face But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no) The lines on the street, and the some rises You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby Another morning sun Another day gone by The storm's coming With the pouring rain Chorus 2 The storm comes with the pouring rain (salvation) The lines in the street, and the smoke rises Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it Chorus 3

Light up my lantern, I'll cut you a path, We've walked for hours and it's getting dark We left the roadside in search of aid, Wind-screen shattered and tire marks made I've never seen someone bleeding like this, Rip off your sleeve and clench your wrist I'll light the stove and sit by the hearth, Orangey glow light the wintry dark We kept her bedroom exactly the same, Winters they followed and Summers they came He'd bash around, banging down on the floor I sit alone with an eye on the door Stop in this clearing, we'll stay here tonight Press up against me, I'll hold you so tight I got these matches, we'll let off some smoke And maybe they'll see us and maybe they won't Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars, I'll lie awake listening out for cars He stares through curtains when he talks to the night, I sit and listen for tires on the drive I keep on waiting and he keep on talking Just stop him talking, please stop him talking No, give me silence Give me silence, Give me silence Oh, no...
