My car broke down on holiday I walked to the store in the pouring rain Ice on the grass in the glowing grey I watched the ice all melt away I don't remember how I left it I don't recall just what I said I don't believe in stained-glass promise I don't wanna walk on holiday I lost my love on holiday My drugstore flowers bought with change The smell of wet leaves in the fireplace The light in her eyes and the tears on her face I don't remember how I left it I don't recall just what I said I don't believe in cards and crystals I don't wanna walk on holiday Where have you gone from me now? I gave my life away now Where have you gone from me now? I cried on holiday

Don't say you love me If it's only 'cause you've run out of Better things to say Don't pretend you know me I haven't shown you anything Besides the clothes I wear in the light of day And I wait for my true love She is sailing on an emerald green ocean So far away And I wait for the day that she takes my hand And comes to shore and shows my heart its rightful place Standin' on the notion that we're not in this together We'll only end up getting us all killed As soon as you can realize that we're all birds of a feather And the fox is in the White House on the hill You can wait for your whole life on the man who said he'd save you I can't speak to the times of late Or you can go out into the world And wrap your arms around all the wunderbar Love and grace Love and grace is what we need Love and grace is what we need Love and grace is what we need Love and grace is what we need What we need

There's something in my heart, it feels like fire And there's a yearning in the river, and it feels like home And take me down, take me down to the water I need time Give me time The old Shenandoah gonna keep me right And hold me like I was forgiven Take me down, and let the beach wood light I need time Give me time Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh Telling myself to keep good faith There ain't much these days to celebrate Pulling my hoodie over my face I need time Give me time Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh Take my name when I'm dead and gone And throw my ashes in the river Know that I lived my whole life long And gave all the love that I could've given Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh

Driving through West Virginia And I've seldom been thinner With that chip on my shoulder And this past year I got so much older Lookin' back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied And I wish I'd had more time Listenin' to you speak your mind Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me? Drinkin' coffee black as iron And I couldn't be much higher Without fallin' out of my chair I've been so numb for so many years Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? And it's so easy To be blinded by the light To feel lonely in the night This blowing in the breeze babe I got dust in my eyes And rust in my mind I'll be home come next spring Won't you say you love me later, by and by Looking back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied Pullin' my belt tight It's just me and the stars tonight Two fingers and a tight line Keep my head above the alpine Just wish I'd had more time Listenin' to her speak her mind Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me?

Oh I saw a shooting star Late last night Yeah she was pointing at the west coast Beaming like a street light Got my white denim jacket And my bolo tie Snuck past mom and dad and told my little brothers goodbye Oh I hear a motor car Coming up the coast You know I've seen other cities but I like this one most There's a girl down in the valley says that we can take it slow Or we can push fast forward on it Love success and rock and roll But it gets hard sometimes Don't I know it I been up for a week I can't get no sleep I lose my cool Oh I saw a shooting star late in the night She's like vanilla ice cream, baby Milky white I want to love her all day And all of the night I want to love her all day For the rest of my life And it gets hard sometimes Don't I know it I been up for a week I can't get no sleep I lose my cool And I been up for a week I can't get no sleep I lose my cool Say what you mean babe Come on and tell it to me
