Gold Heart Locket
|
|
all night long I?e been riding riding
|
I should have been there by now
|
but these old county roads
|
got a lot of deep holes
|
and the rain keeps pouring down
|
the bridge is washed out and the rising rising
|
waters of the river rush by
|
and I? up to my fenders in mud
|
and to my witness above
|
I? really stuck this time
|
I?e got a gold heart locket on a silver chain
|
clinched tight in my fist in the pouring rain
|
and the only road back home again is all but washed away
|
I? going to cross that river tonight
|
no matter what it takes
|
although I might die trying
|
my true love will remain
|
in a gold heart locket on a silver chain
|
|
open it up and she? lovely lovely
|
eyes of hazel green
|
but I close it up fast
|
because the rain gets past
|
and lays a tear down on her cheek
|
I promised her once that I would never ever
|
break her heart again
|
so lord take me there in a silent prayer
|
and her locket in my hand
|
the last thing I remember
|
I was fearing for my life
|
she was calling out my name
|
from over on the other side
|
I reached out to hold her
|
but the break was just too strong
|
now the silence just gets colder
|
as the river rages on
|
