Box of Pine - Black Eyed Vermillion

I left you there, clover at your feet My babes in your arms and a promise to keep I wagered my life, when the cherry trees bloom Come hell or high water I'll come home to you If they put me in a pine box My sweet Julay Where the grass grows, and the bedrocks Beneath the earth and clay Sweet Julay It was a wrong kind of night, in a wrong kind of town That chill in my spine telling me turn around He stood there in black, and he wanted my purse I reached for my pistol, he reached for his first Then he put me in a pine box My sweet Julay Where the grass grows, and the bedrocks Beneath the earth and clay Sweet Julay I fell to my knees, I saw your sweet face As death stretched his hands, I felt your embrace So I lead with a smile as the cherry trees bloom Through hell and high water, I came home to you Now they put me in a pine box My sweet Julay Where the grass grows, and the bedrocks Beneath the earth and clay, oh God Did they put me in a pine box? My sweet, my dear sweet Julay In the meadow, where we used to walk Beneath the earth and clay Sweet Julay Sweet Julay Yeah, sweet Julay Oh my god My sweet Julay Yeah, sweet Julay

Rains fell cold through June Grass is up to my thigh Say if it dries up it'll burn just like the moon Say it opens up the seeds of the pine I only want to dream about you The dollar I could spend but I should save Just to see my fingers in your hair The golden wheat around us and Beneath us where we lay You're a slow ride down a country mile You're the smell of apple pie to the blind You're the last light on a July western sky You're the center of the watermelon, You're a sweet, sweet smile Cottonwood a-shakin in the breeze Surrounded by a starry sky Easy to forget the things we need Easy to stumble around mostly blind I could tell you not to come in from the storm I could tell you not to be so kind I could tell you not to close the door I could say I never wanted you for mine Rains fell cold through June Grass is up to my thigh Say if it dries up it'll burn just like the moon Say it opens up the seeds of the pine Say it opens up the seeds of the pine Say it opens up the seeds of the pine

I've got a box of memories under my bed And when I take it out it messes with my head Covered in the thickest coat of dust You taste it when it opens up Sometimes when I get lonely I dive deep inside Dig through the polaroids and letters that I hide From myself cause it's so hard to see The things that once held all of me And ooh Still got your picture Torn in two But I just can't throw away You So I keep your memory in my room Still got my ticket from the first movie we saw With all our friends How are they? 'Cause I don't know at all Haven't seen them since 2013 But they're in my box of memories And ooh That ring is still as good as New But It's at the bottom 'cause of You And it stays in my Room with all the rest of these recollections I know they're dead but they ain't in heaven No they ain't in heaven Try to find any one good exception I know I can but where have they been Where have they been I've got a box of memories under my bed And when I take it out it messes with my head But I do it anyways So it all stays
