These things crawl across my floor I can't use them anymore

there's a heaven in her band alleluias in my hand

All my patience love's inside she just climbed the stage and died

lights that rose and fell again Songs that thinned out near the end oh,
C7 (Hold) D (Hold) G D C D
Her voice trailed off in the end
G D C D G
Though your miles are more than mine the things I've taken in a bind

it's for certain it's for sure I've no use for them no more

making room within ones self for another's songs to help

her skin's like white wash like skim milk her words sing softly just like silk
G D C D G
there are some things i've got to say she won't understand anyway

there are miles between our hearts there's salvation in false starts

I'm forsaken in the end I'm forsaken in the end
