Cowboy Junkies - To Love Is To Bury Lyrics
I buried him down by the rivercause thats where he liked to beAnd every night when the moon is highI go there and weep openlyHe and I were marriedBy this river neath this willow treeAnd with God and friends witnessing itHe pledged his life to meTo me he was earthAnd I rooted in his soilI to he was sky vast and freeOf the burdens from which he toiledThen one night a terrible fightWords spoken better left unsaidWith his wedding vows ringing in my earsHe gave his life to meThey say to love is to buryThose demons from which we all hideBut tonight by this river neath this willow treeBecoming one of earth and sky200 more milesAtlantas a distant memoryMontgomery a recent birthAnd tulsa burns on the desert floorLike a signal fireI got willie on the radioA dozen things on my mindAnd number one is fleshing outThese dreams of mineIve got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in lineBefore I sleepBut therell be no warm sheets or welcoming armsTo fall into tonightIn nashville there is a lighterIn a case for all to seeIt speaks of dreams and heartachesLeft unsungAnd in the corner stands a guitar andLonesome words scrawled in a drunken handI dont travel past, travel hard beforeAnd Im beginning to understandThat Ive got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in lineBefore I sleepBut therell be no warm sheets or welcoming armsTo fall into tonightThey say that I am crazyMy life wasting on this roadThat time will find my dreamsScared or dead and coldBut I heard there is a lightDrawing me to reach an endAnd when I reach there, Ill turn backAnd you and I can begin againIve got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in lineBefore I sleepBut therell be no warm sheets or welcoming armsTo fall into tonightIve got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in lineBefore I sleepBut I wouldnt trade all your golden tomorrowsFor one hour of this nightAtlantas a distant memoryMontgomery a recent birthAnd tulsa burns on the desert floorLike a signal fire
