Lyrics:
I pulled out with the mountain laurel blooming
On a dirt road that is soon to be paved
Down to the site of my original establishment
And the west end family grave
Cause one day moves into two
And I’m losing
Everything except for you
And I would sing you a song of devotion
Yeah that’s what I should do
Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down
On the family tree on the fields of war
I spend my time being broken hearted and grieving bound
Yeah I haven’t much need to look forward
I just let a one day move into two
I’m losing
Everything except for you
I would sing you a song of devotion
Book of days
The way things lay
That’s just space and time
I gave it up
All for a love
That won’t be defined
I’ve had enough temporary acquisition
Building fences for no gain
Taking dead trees down before the winter freeze
I said let ’em rot and fall where they may
Just let one day move into two
I’m losing
Everything except for you
I would sing you a song of devotion
That’s what I should do
(I gotta let them fall where they may)
(Cause one day moves into two)
It’s the book of days
(I’m losing)
It’s the way things lay
(Everything except for you)
Now that’s just space and time
(I)
(I would sing you a song)
I gave it up
(Of devotion)
All for your love
(Yeah)
That’s what I should do
That’s what I should do
That’s what I should do
