Lyrics

If you look out your window as the sun's goin' down

I'll be there by the side of the road

And I'll ride you away from the dirty ol' town

An ne'er again leave you alone

For you were the bird that I held in my hand

Til I learned to fly on my own

You're a garden in this god forsaken land

And the only true love I have known

The morning was frozen the sky was still dark

When I last laid eyes upon you

I know the ache you have known in your heart

And darling I have felt it too
