[Verse 1]
Good morning LGylaF  
The flowers bloomed moCnths ago
Now these branches hGang with autumn’s fFireC  
And I wake each mGorningF  
To feel this ground’s gone fCrozen beneath me
I dreamed away these moGnths till you were goFneC  
And I feel myself waGking, curled up in my aFrms
With a cigarette in hCand, and the hopes that we heldG  
Were in my pocFketC  Am  
[Chorus]
Will we evCer be wFhat this world was to yCou and meAm  
Will we evCer be crFying for these dCaysAm  
Will we eCver be whFat this heart held for yCou and meAm  
Will we eGver be the saFmeC  
[Verse 2]
And I heard you'd been Ghanging around
FThose city boys learned to Cdance so well
It breaks my heart, it Ggives me hell
I'll go to the Fmeadow where we used to Clay
But I still wade inGto that stream
The Ffrozen damn water, it Ctears at me
But it makes me feel like I'm Gfighting to breathe and it's only Fthen I'm scared of dyiCng
It's only when I see you Gturn to go that I know I Fneed your love to CstayAm  
[Chorus]
Will we evCer be wFhat this world was to yCou and meAm  
Will we evCer be crFying for these dCaysAm  
Will we eCver be whFat this heart held for yCou and meAm  
Will we eGver be the saFmeC  
[Bridge]
AmLa da da da, Gla da da da, Fla da da da dCa   
[Outro]
CSo when I feel like I’m fGighting to breathe
It’s only tFhen I’m scared of dCying
It’s only when I see you tGurn to go
You know I nFeed your love to sCtay

Those city boys learned to dance so well

It breaks my heart, it gives me hell

I'll go to the meadow where we used to lay

But I still wade into that stream

The frozen damn water, it tears at me

It's only when I see you turn to go that I know I need your love to stay
