You were pure to me as fresh untraveled snow. Skin as soft as a petal, of an uncut rose. I gave you all I had. Everything I owned. Right down to the pedestal, I put you on.
You feel like a candle in a hurricane. Just like a picture with a broken frame. Alone and helpless. Like you've lost your fight. But you'll be alright, you'll be alright.
Right here waiting. Staying strong. Come and. Fall into me. . You say you've turned it off. Hid your heart up on a shelf. Scared of what it might cost.
Mama's holding on as I was letting go. Not sure where I was heading to, well, on my own. I remember all the power of my father's words. Long after they were spoken, they could still be heard.

Three or four miles down a red dirt road. Lived a green-eyed girl, I used to go to see her. I'd pull up the drive and she'd jump in. And we'd head off down around the bend to the river.
I'm startin' to notice things in my life. Seein' it all in a different light. And I've opened my eyes. . I'm learnin' to gaze up at the stars. See 'em for more than what they are.
