Tree blows against my window,
there’s a storm brewing in my heart,
watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show,
Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my window shade,
after all that he’s seen I wonder if he truly knows,
did he watch her when she slammed the door,
like a hammer against the nail,
leaving me in what’s become a lonely prison cell.
Chorus
I thought always meant forever,
I guess you couldn’t play second fiddle to my guitar,
like an old man drinking down at the tavern,
well I was one for the road and now you’re headed on back home.
I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday,
we were falling in love and living to chase our dreams,
I gave you flowers on Valentines,
and I had a strong feeling deep down inside,
that someday we’d make a home and a family,
I’d say I’m sorry in a heartbeat if you would only let me,
I could lean to forgive if you only forget.
In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show,
I caught your silhouette creeping down the street,
under a moonlight glow, and as you took my hand,
so went all my pain,
we stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train.
Chorus
