lyrics
I met you standing still
with room enough to dance
I tried to hold a job down
to stay your shakin’ hands
The years came and went
like thunder in the cove,
a south cumberland wind
over highway sixty-four
You laughed cause you’re fragile
You laughed to get mad
Far from our storm-crossed hills,
strip towns and American drab
In the still of a cloudless night,
no one is waitin’ on the dawn;
but the dampness in its daybreak
will soak you to the bone
You left to find patience
You left on your own
You left like the wind carves sand
outcrops and turns all to stone
I feel it all I do
I want you through and through
so I hit the road for you
It ain’t small our world
It ain’t small our world
It ain’t small our world
It ain’t small our world
You laughed cause you’re fragile
You laughed to get mad
Far from our storm-crossed hills,
strip towns and American drab
You left to find patience
You left on your own
You left like the wind carves sand
outcrops and turns all to stone
You laughed cause you’re fragile
You laughed to get mad
Far from our storm-crossed hills,
strip towns and American drab
with room enough to dance
I tried to hold a job down
to stay your shakin’ hands
The years came and went
like thunder in the cove,
a south cumberland wind
over highway sixty-four
You laughed cause you’re fragile
You laughed to get mad
Far from our storm-crossed hills,
strip towns and American drab
In the still of a cloudless night,
no one is waitin’ on the dawn;
but the dampness in its daybreak
will soak you to the bone
You left to find patience
You left on your own
You left like the wind carves sand
outcrops and turns all to stone
I feel it all I do
I want you through and through
so I hit the road for you
It ain’t small our world
It ain’t small our world
It ain’t small our world
It ain’t small our world
You laughed cause you’re fragile
You laughed to get mad
Far from our storm-crossed hills,
strip towns and American drab
You left to find patience
You left on your own
You left like the wind carves sand
outcrops and turns all to stone
You laughed cause you’re fragile
You laughed to get mad
Far from our storm-crossed hills,
strip towns and American drab
