lyrics

Cold cold ground, don’t you ever come around
Cold cold ground, don’t you ever come around

I heard a songbird hanging from the willow tree
I was tongue tied and stumbling on a whisper in my teeth
I threw back my head boys to catch the bird to see
As the branches we’re swinging there was no one there but me

Cold cold ground, don’t you ever come around
Cold cold ground, don’t you ever come around

I dreamt of you girl, singing out my song
Nothing between us, my words upon your tongue
We were flesh to flesh babe, I traced you with my trembling hand
When I awoke I was nothing of a man

Cold cold ground, don’t you ever come around
Cold cold ground, don’t you ever come around

Everyone suffers, everyone steals
No one can tell me not to feel this way I feel
So I’m leaving Kansas, I’m leaving my memory
I’m running west girl, where the ground meets the sea
