said she got struck down by love and it s all because someone showed her what it was said she got taken by floods and was not proud of the trouble she d begun said she got run down by dawn with her name redrawn and left on things she d be leaning on said she got swept up in song left her room light on though her heart s meant for moving on i ve been sewn along my seams hemmed and mended hiding everything but courage burns like kerosene and you were far too kind to me said she s been feeling just fine that she works part time and still has a couple things of mine said she s been bathing in wine my sweet madeline eyes like yours are hard to find and i ve been told a million ways not to sit and burn down all my days waiting for your heart to change but something quiet says to stay and i ve been dreaming where you ve been i mapped out rooms that we d be drinking in latin roots and motor inns just say you ll come home little wind
