| I could come by rail, or Baby I could come by car,
|
| I’ve been missin' you and Houston ain’t that far.
|
| And I cannot remember all the reasons that you left,
|
| I know none of them rings true inside my heart.
|
| Bet you’re drinkin' as you go, but Baby you’re so full of holes,
|
| I’m surprised the whiskey doesn’t pour right out.
|
| I may not be your best choice, but I thought love could fill the void,
|
| If you need something that will not let you down…
|
| When the tide comes and wets the embers,
|
| Of the fire you tried to keep,
|
| Just remember, that I will wait for you,
|
| With these tears of blood I weep.
|
| It’s lookin' like a storm out here on Highway 61,
|
| At least that’s where we were before I fell asleep.
|
| Me and all the boys are livin' hard out on the road,
|
| I know you don’t care… just talkin' as I think.
|
| When the tide comes and wets the embers,
|
| Of the fire you tried to keep,
|
| Just remember, that I will wait for you,
|
| With these tears of blood I weep.
|
| If you could teach me how,
|
| I swear I’d stay on the ground,
|
| I just feel like I am falling down…
|
| When time has washed away all of the emptiness and pain,
|
| The parts the booze and pills just couldn’t kill,
|
| Hope you turn and come back home; |
| I’ll be waitin' here alone,
|
| ‘Cause I swear to God I know I’ll love you still.
|
| When the tide comes and wets the embers,
|
| Of the fire you tried to keep,
|
| Just remember, that I will wait for you,
|
| With these tears of blood I weep.
|
| When the tide comes and wets the embers,
|
| Of the fire you tried to keep,

|
| With these tears of blood I weep.
|
| With these tears of blood I weep. |
