I heard your voice in every sound
Haven't learned to hold my body still
'Cause the body is blind and the mind is sure
I knew you were gone when my body would turn
To look for you
Oh I looked for you on the open road
I drove your car through yellow fields
Oh I dreamed each night that you called my name
By the lights you go and on again
When the sun rose I had to let you go again
Oh I dreamed you spoke my name in tears
You were four months gone, it was forty years
Oh I dreamed you spoke my name in tears
You were four months gone, it was forty years
Oh I took my comfort where I could
I bit her skin and thought of you
Oh the whiskey was strong and it dulled my mind
But the bottle glowed like heated eyes
Like you saw me
Now no one knows me as I am
No one knew me as I was
Do you remember the way that we were raised
On the taste of salt and the scent of flame
Now I talk to myself as I fall asleep
Gotta talk my way through
Memories and hold you
The only way I can
Oh I dreamed you spoke my name in tears
You were four months gone, it was forty years
Oh I dreamed you spoke my name in tears
You were four months gone
You were four months gone
