Neal Casal - Open Ground lyrics

To work like the devil for your pay Was the old song that he used to sing Before the waking hours Rolled out across the open ground Now I see him through the window At a table drinking his coffee And talking about the days Before the time that we knew Would not return to this old town He's waiting for somebody else to save his day Or at least to see some light before it fades away Yeah, yeah To choose no companion It fell right in line With all the others she had known Had laid by his side Before the sleepless morning Showed its face without a sound Without a sound Now where did the time go all these years After the pictures had been burned And the names have all been cleared From all that she remembers it adds up in time To not a thing, no not a thing She's waiting for somebody else to save her day Or at least to see his face before he goes away Before he goes away Before he goes away Before he goes away She just wants to see his face before he goes away Before he goes away Before he goes away Oh, before he goes away Before he goes away Before he goes away
