Lyrics

Rooster is a crowin early in the mornin
The days begun for someone
But it’s endin now for me

And sleeps an apparition with the way that it eludes me
I try each night, close my eyes
But your shadows all I see

Love is a liar more than anything else
Showin you only what you want it to be
But I know this without a doubt
Ain’t no such thing as a destiny

My love was like a wildfire tearin through the pine trees
In a sated daze amidst the blaze
I was baskin in the glow

But Heartache he’s a hunter who don’t ever miss a target
So I just stood here like a dumbstruck deer
Bracin for the blow

You were a coward more than anything else
Hidin in plain sight just out of reach
But I know this without a doubt
Ain’t no such thing as the enemy

When the night wraps it’s tendrils all around the valley
And the darkness folds us in its hold
But sleep won’t come for me

I can see you very clearly standin there before me
A broken man with empty hands
Plain as it can be

I was a child more than anything else
Trynna make posies outta poison ivy
But I know this without a doubt
A lesson learned never comes for free
