I would have done

I heard your voice in every sound

Had to learn to hold my body still
Cause the body’s blind though the mind is sure
I knew you were gone but my body’d turn
To look for you

I looked for you on the open road
I drove your car through yellow fields
I dreamed each night that you called my name
Had to let you go when morning came
When the sun rose had to let you go again.

Oh I dreamed you spoke my name in tears
You were four months gone it was forty years

I took my comfort where I could
I bit her skin and thought of you
The whiskey was strong and it dulled my mind
But the bottles glowed like heated eyes
Like you saw me.

Now no one knows me as I am
And no one knew me as I was
D’you remember the way that we were raised
On the taste of salt and the scent of flame?
Now I talk to myself as I fall asleep
gotta talk my way through memories
hold you the only way I can.

Oh I dreamed you spoke my name in tears
You were four months gone it was forty years.
I dreamed you spoke my name in tears
You were four months gone you were four months gone.
