HairDown

Lord please make me a canyon deep as love
to throw my worthless short life in
cuz i see her raven black flashing eyes
in every town i'm in

I didn't mean to perforate the silence
sheriff lead me to my bed
just give me a minute or two to pull myself together
i'm trying to forget what she said

chorus:
Wave blow hair down, rope like flame
my feet must leave this ground today
dragons stay put, birds fly away
a red bird hollers out my name

lord please make me an ivory castle
these black clouds hover and stay
is this the gallows or the footprints of eden
in a meadow the gods don't ever seem to say

But i may never have another chance to tell her
so give me my suitacase and wine soaked tent
O where does the optimism come from
If i knew i might figure out where it went

chorus:
Wave blow hair down, rope like flame
my feet must leave this ground today
dragons stay put, birds fly away
a red bird hollers out my name
black dogs seem to know your name
