jon licht - dyin slow lyrics

[verse 1]
she left her small town
in ohio
she headed straight down
to mexico into my arms
we fell fast
she read me all those
old magazines
we fell in between
our wants and needs
our hearts were full
our eyes were wide
now i’m in the corner
crooked eyes and sunken grin
dark red pool around my feet i’m dyin slow
and in the morning
she’s pacing back and forth again
she says i’d love to stay but you know i have to go

[chorus]
well some would say the stars aligned
i was her own and she was mine
and if the sky fell to the ground
we’d smile as it was burning
down

[verse 2]
i lost my way home
at a game of cards
the well has run dry
the ground is hard and cracked from heat
dead and heavy heat
months in a bottle
i’m bleeding gin
my body hollow
i plunge against all with my feet
my heavy feet
then i wake to see her
the hair hangs down she shakes her head
she looks right through me
nothing there for her to know
quiet surrender
waste a battle in that bed
within a month my battered chest began to grow

[chorus]
some would say the stars aligned
i was her own and she was mine
and if the sky fell to the ground
we’d smile as it was burning
down

[verse 3]
summer burned on
a torrid affair
a thousand moments
when she laid there and not the door
now i’m the fool
death is waiting
around the bend
through the blood and liquor
i smell the end
i rest my eyes
one final time
but then the morning
comes along to my surprise
the sun comes bursting through and casts a bitter glow
downstairs is empty
coffee helps the pain subside
i stumble out the door with nowhere left to go
yeah i’m out the door with nowhere left to go
stumble out the door with nowhere left to go

[outro]
well some would say the stars aligned
i was her own and she was mine
