Somewhere down the way, there's a hidden place that anyone That all of us could find But our maps have failed, so venture through the veil and realize That these roads are intertwined Far beyond those walls, gleaming black and white Further than our false schemes of wrong and right Is a field where we can walk Leaving all our names behind I will meet you there, beyond the pines Templed in twilight or dawn The light and easy air Tracing the lines on our palms Somewhere down the road is a place that we can go where everyone And everything is divine And when we're all awake, we can finally make and end of these Divisions in our minds Far beyond those walls, gleaming black and white Further than our false schemes of wrong and right Is a field where we can walk Leaving all our names behind I will meet you there, beyond the pines Templed in twilight or dawn The light and easy air Tracing the lines on our palms I will meet you there, beyond the pines Templed in twilight or dawn The light and easy air Tracing the lines on our palms And I will meet you there (Don't go to sleep) Our souls and feet both bare (With grass beneath) The oaths we needn't swear (Are vast and deep) Our breath will be our prayer (Alone, complete) I will meet you there, beyond the pines Templed in twilight or dawn The light and easy air Tracing the lines on our palms I will meet you there, beyond the pines Templed in twilight or dawn The light and easy air Tracing the lines on our palms I will meet you there

Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me Tell me, where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine I will shiver the whole night through Black girl, black girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine I will shiver the whole night through Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me Tell me, where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shine I will shiver the whole night through My husband was a railroad man Killed a mile and a half from here His head was found in a drivers wheel And his body haven't ever been found Black girl, black girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows You called me weak, and you called me the most You called me to bring me my home

How can a world be crushed while another goes on How can good old friends pass away too young How can one door open as another stays closed How can good get beat when it felt so close I don't know how to feel about the Winter Because I'm told it gets warm after December There's a reason for everything so I've been told That the Lord's got a plan even when it gets cold But through this tear-stained face it's hard to see How the good God above is trying to use me I don't know how to feel about the Winter But I'm told it gets warm after December I'm not sure if I trust what I remember Sitting here alone freezing in November Sitting here alone freezing in November

I can see the sunlight Even at midnight Bouncing off the moon in your baby blues It's lighting up your eyes Making me realize All the stars in the sky got nothing on you Cuz I'm a lucky man Got myself a constellation A little piece of heaven in my arms And I've got to say amen I guess God sent me an Angel Cuz he knew I needed saving from the dark Lights up the room And my heart In every situation She's my blue eyed constellation I've seen some hard times Mountains I can't climb I prayed prayers I swear didn't make it through But from where I'm standing I finally understand it That the answer to my prayers has always been you And I'm a lucky man Got myself a constellation A little piece of heaven in my arms And I've got to say amen I guess God sent me an Angel Cuz he knew I needed saving from the dark Lights up the room And my heart In every situation She's my blue eyed constellation And I read about how sailors Use the stars to find direction That's the way your loving leads me home And I've heard about how God Can send an Angel for protection He knew I couldn't be left on my own So I'm a lucky man Got myself a constellation A little piece of heaven in my arms And I've got to say amen I guess God sent me an Angel Cuz he knew I needed saving from the dark Lights up the room And my heart In every situation She's my blue eyed constellation

There's empty in your eyes my love Seen it for a while now I know that you tried my love I'd keep you but I don't know how I could fight this losing fight but If you give up then so will I Sometimes a fire burns out Sometimes a well runs dry Sometimes a trail goes cold Deep in the dead of night Cuz I'm holding on With all of my might You're standing here Been gone a long time Left in the rain Left in the mud Love strong as iron's Still gonna rust Gray december skies my love Are crying on the cold ground It's really got the best of us You've seen the worst of me now Started in a blaze now we're flickering Talking to you now, are you listening? I'm looking for the why but I'm missing it Sometimes a fire burns out Sometimes a well runs dry Sometimes a trail goes cold Deep in the dead of night Cuz I'm holding on With all of my might You're standing here Been gone a long time Left in the rain Left in the mud Love strong as iron's Still gonna rust Sometimes a fire burns out Sometimes a well runs dry Sometimes a trail goes cold Deep in the dead of night I've been holding on With all of my might You're standing here Been gone a long time Left in the rain Left in the mud Love strong as iron's Still gonna rust

Bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days Finish out the race Where it started in a haze In the place that I was raised Lay me back down I flew around the country Been outside the USA They were right when they would say No place like home But I kept on testing limits Where I'd bend and where I'd break All the friends that I would make Then leave behind The only place I want to be at closing time Bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days Finish out the race Where it started in a haze In the place that I was raised Lay me back down Let me watch my final sunset In the land that I love most Holding all my loved ones close I'll walk on through So bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days
