The Prettiest thing!
I ever did see
was hightning from the top of cloud
moving through the dark a million miles
an hour with somewhere to be.
so why doesn't seem
like a picture
hanging up on someone else's wall
lately I just haven't been myself at all
it's heavy on my mind
I'm dreamin'again
like I've always been
and way down low
I know.I ever did see
was dusty as the handle on the door
rusty as a nail stuck in the old
pine floor.My first time be in love and
I feel like somebody run me over.
All bye myself in the cold?
