I prayed heaven today Would bring its hammer down on me And pound you out of my head I can´t think with you in it
I dragged all that I owned Down a dirt road to find you And my shoes worn out and used They can´t take me much farther Ohhh
Something always takes the place of missing pieces You can take and put together even though You know there´s something missing
The sun burned a hole in my roof I can´t seem to fix it I hope rain doesn´t come And wash me down the gutter
Something always takes the place of missing pieces You can take and put together even though You know there´s something missing
She rides in a car Like a queen on a card And the guns of her mind Aim a line straight at mine To a heart that is broke Tried to feel but got choked In the smoke of a desert A beach with no leisure
A night that´s so blue Feed the aching in you And the background birds Take a flight from the earth Where the bonfire burns And the night current turns On a lifeboat floating Down a river of sleep Can´t see her hollow eyes I´m walking along with my boots full of rocks I can´t believe these tears were mine I´ll give them to you to put away in a box
Something always takes the place of missing pieces You can take and put together even though You know there´s something missing
