lyrics

VERSE
Well now I, I’m gonna put you down,
‘cause down is where I’ve been.
Like smoke rising, I looked up to you,
but you were gone with the wind.
Now clear skies are all around,
but I can’t lift my gaze up from the ground.

CHORUS
You had me going north by northwest
so I couldn’t tell low from high.
But the wind is blowing south now, baby,
and I can see a hawk in that sky.

TAG
So now I, I’m gonna put you down,
‘cause down is where I’ve been.

Solo

VERSE
Well now, mama told me when I was young:
Love’s like looking into the rising sun.
Dad was dark as a winter night
but you were bright as sight.
That light’s what I made my life about
but then that fire went out.

CHORUS
All you left me with was scorched earth
so nothing new grew in my heart.
And that’s the way it’s gonna stay, baby,
till my hopes for you depart.

TAG
So now I, I’m gonna put you down,
‘cause down is where I’ve been.
