III. TENNESSEE

You are the one with the cold, dark eyes

When you go, I could lose my mind

Oh the sun we are to live inside

The world we do without, moving on

in time

 

You are the one who could break my soul

and echo on all my crookedest thoughts

of these years I'm drowning under

A pain that flickers on, in the dark

 

We walked for miles through the night

Tennessee was all we had in our shadowed sky

And on and on we'd go till we lost our sight

and on and on we walked till our heads grew light

and on and on we'd go, till our heads grew light

You are the one with the cold, black eyes

When you go, I can see just when our love expires

Though I hope to be a better man

The life we never had will never come

 

We walked for miles through the night

Tennessee was all we had in our shadowed sky

Tennessee, empyreal, was our false heart's bride

and on and on we'd go till we lost our sight

and on and on we walked till our heads grew light 

and on and on we'd go, Oh!

 

And on and on we'll go till our heads grow light

 

Oh, tell me sun, is this how to be alone?

Oh, tell me sun, is this how to be alone?

Oh, tell me son, is this how
