Cowboy Junkies - Hollow as a Bone lyrics

rate me

She hugged his head so hard to her heart

it made her gasp for air

If this was not the way Love felt

then for love she did not care

I want to run beside a moving train

yelling farewells in the rain

The tears will be bittersweet,

'cause I know I'll see him again

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone

He could not help but hang his eyes

her beauty held him so

If this was not a state of Grace

then Grace he'd never know

I want to yell farewell from a crowded pier

just me and a thousand good-byes

The tears will be bittersweet,

'cause soon she'll be back my side

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone

You won't lose me, he replied,

together our lives have been sewn

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone

We will kiss goodnight under a starlit sky

whisper oaths at a lumbering moon

dream sweet dreams before the morning comes

and serves us the dawn in our room

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone
