No sooner than this
Have you rushed to shore
What's left of yourself to save?
Expect nothing less
You're waiting alone
Don't hold your breath anymore
It's winter in a land of promise
That you left to me
(What would you say?)
It's enough to dispose
Shallow waters are frozen
Secrets are left alone
Is this when you thought you'd have all the answers?
You only get what you give
But I can't deny
When it's all been said and done
I burned a thousand goodbyes
It's winter in a land of promise
That you left to me
(What would you say?)
It's enough to dispose
Shallow waters are frozen
Secrets are left alone
I crossed another bridge today
I crossed another line
Before we cross that bridge again
Let's wait here for awhile...
All in all we're never looking back
Dance in time to save each other
All in all i'm never looking back at you
Don't ever beg for...
You never even had a chance to save yourself
It's winter in a land of promise
That you left to me
(What would you say?)
It's enough to dispose
Shallow waters are frozen
Secrets are left aloneI saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path
I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun
The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor neck back
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap
They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul'd
be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world
