From the recordings Southern Star and Reload
Lyrics
The sun goes down and the moon comes up
She tries to fill his empty cup
The sky is bruised and the water turns rough
She looks into his eyes and says I do
He lifts her veil and the light shines through
He lets go of her hand a little too soon
And they walk away
And the seasons change
And the blue skies turn grey
He sits in bars most nights and day
She sits alone at home and prays
She’s left to sort through the last remains
You’ve been waiting here
For so many years
Two more bottles full of tears
And they hold on
Until they run out of luck
She wakes up in a darkened room
Hears his voice and tries to move
He holds on to her hand and the light shines through
And she drifts away
And the seasons change
And the light will not fade
And they hold on
Until they run out of luck
