empty barns falling down to the ground ground falling down to the sky in the country where i left you the river never sleeps she just keeps on rolling south in the night and your beauty finds me there as i leave you seeks me out and calls me by my name you are a temple where i take religion like water never in my life to forsake never in my life to forsake deep in this love i can t forsake and i woke up in the morning stumbling with my head bowed low my hands made into prayers for every mile left to go and every next time that i leave you with only half a soul maybe if i pray hard enough i don t have to go and your beauty finds me there as i leave you seeks me out and calls me by my name you are a temple where i take religion like water never in my life to forsake never in my life to forsake deep in this love i can t forsake
