Lyrics
0:01The road is longer than it is hard
0:06With no one to guide you
0:10And no one to hold
0:17No best foot forward to sway the odds
0:22And just a voice inside you
0:27And a stone to throw
0:32Could you be someone else
0:36If someone else is what I need
0:43Shouldn't ask that of you
0:49When you're old you'll understand
0:51But we're hurting now
0:54So what are we to do 'til then
0:58Cradling pictures of you
1:03It was a highway to nowhere and we rode it
1:08Cold car with no gas and we chose it
1:12Soft bodies playing in the street
1:21Our kids will grow up with half as much
1:24Trying to build something out of dust
1:29Finding out too late what they need
1:36You've tasted love and it tasted sweet
1:41You drank the blood and bit the meat
1:45You hold it you hold it you let it go
1:53You close your eyes and count to three
1:57You say the word and come to me
2:02Baby I know
2:39Drive the pathway through the pines
2:43And the moors of mystery
2:47Welcome conflict and let crisis come
2:51And shake the ground beneath
2:55And the family secret hiding
2:59In the farmhouse down the street
3:03Rushes open door on your front porch
3:07And shadows me
3:12Taken and entirely
3:15I embraced the bonny beast
3:21Over hills and highlands
3:23We rode hard the passing peaks
3:29Danger like the virgin wife
3:31Beside me she would sleep
3:37Cherry was her dad's truck that
3:39She crashed at seventeen
3:44I kneel before what temper broke
3:48The branches on the beach
3:52And those thrilling highs and southern
3:55Nights are always out of reach
3:59I learned a lesson
4:05I need to pray hard final hours
4:08Take care of me god
4:11Take care of me god
4:17You've tasted love and it tasted sweet
4:21You drank the blood and bit the meat
4:25You hold it you hold it you let it go
4:32You close your eyes and count to three
4:36You say the word and come to me
4:42Baby I know
5:22The road is longer than it is hard
5:25Love overwhelms me
5:27With no one to guide you
5:30It's all that I want
5:33And it's all that we have
5:37No best foot forward to sway the odds
5:42But is it enough
5:43Just a voice inside you
5:45To make it worth it in the end
5:53Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
6:01Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
6:09Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
6:14Don't sink in me
6:17Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
6:21I'm saying
6:24You've tasted love and it tasted sweet
6:28You drank the blood and bit the meat
6:32You hold it you hold it
6:36But you'll never know
6:40You close your eyes and cry to me
6:44Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
6:48We're better off if you let go
7:19In God's country
7:23In God's country
7:29If it was harder then
7:32It will be better now
7:36For I am here and changed
7:40I couldn't tell you how
7:44There before the grace of God go I
7:50Laughing to myself
7:54Forgetting what about
The road is longer than it is hard With no one to guide you And no one to hold No best foot forward to sway the odds And just a voice inside you And a stone to throw Could you be someone else If someone else is what I need Shouldn't ask that of you When you're old you'll understand But we're hurting now So what are we to do 'til then Cradling pictures of you It was a highway to nowhere and we rode it Cold car with no gas and we chose it Soft bodies playing in the street Our kids will grow up with half as much Trying to build something out of dust Finding out too late what they need You've tasted love and it tasted sweet You drank the blood and bit the meat You hold it you hold it you let it go You close your eyes and count to three You say the word and come to me Baby I know Drive the pathway through the pines And the moors of mystery Welcome conflict and let crisis come And shake the ground beneath And the family secret hiding In the farmhouse down the street Rushes open door on your front porch And shadows me Taken and entirely I embraced the bonny beast Over hills and highlands We rode hard the passing peaks Danger like the virgin wife Beside me she would sleep Cherry was her dad's truck that She crashed at seventeen I kneel before what temper broke The branches on the beach And those thrilling highs and southern Nights are always out of reach I learned a lesson I need to pray hard final hours Take care of me god Take care of me god You've tasted love and it tasted sweet You drank the blood and bit the meat You hold it you hold it you let it go You close your eyes and count to three You say the word and come to me Baby I know The road is longer than it is hard Love overwhelms me With no one to guide you It's all that I want And it's all that we have No best foot forward to sway the odds But is it enough Just a voice inside you To make it worth it in the end Don't sink in me with your dog teeth Don't sink in me with your dog teeth Don't sink in me with your dog teeth Don't sink in me Don't sink in me with your dog teeth I'm saying You've tasted love and it tasted sweet You drank the blood and bit the meat You hold it you hold it But you'll never know You close your eyes and cry to me Don't sink in me with your dog teeth We're better off if you let go In God's country In God's country If it was harder then It will be better now For I am here and changed I couldn't tell you how There before the grace of God go I Laughing to myself Forgetting what about
