lyrics

Went up north, fell back down south
I never learned to shut my mouth
I’d talk you in then walk you out
But I never learned to shut my mouth

Met a yellow rose with earthen hair
she looked good most anywhere
always kept my heart one step
behind the rest, then I just left
I just should’ve been gone much quicker if anything

If all the folks in Adam’s race
Were gathered together in one place
In time they’d decide face-to-face
It’d feel nice to fill the space

Then tongues a-blazing, new leaves turning
feet a-stomping, cities burning
You will find a quivering fire
The meek will stand still and admire
But the flame will sink and be gone one day

Pent-up creeks and winding streams
Everything is as it seems
Gray wolves howl and barn owls scream
Nightmares seep into sweet dreams

You can’t catch lightning in a bottle twice
Thunder rolls over melting ice
The seas all get filled to the brim
you must leave it’s you or them
All who’d give themselves for you are gone

Violet sky then turned to gray
When winter came and froze the day
The sky was violet, blue, then gray
Winter came and froze the day

My yellow rose was then lost
When there came the killing frost
I had to cross over the hill
Tried to stay, couldn’t stay still
I just should’ve been gone much quicker if anything
