The Avett Brothers - Feb. 20, 2000 lyrics

The whipping of the flag above It sung me to sleep And I awoke to feel her hair Dancing on my cheek I awoke with the crazy feeling That I was where I belong And the sun warmed a remembered love In my head I heard this song Don't leave, you've finally made it home Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along I know it hurts to think about everything that went wrong But I think its over now And I cant believe how her hands Still fit perfectly in mine If I don't take my chances now I'll be searching all my life Trying to find the feelings that I knew With this lovely country girl If those plans are just a young man's mistake Then why am I still so set on her Don't leave, you've finally made it home Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along I know it hurts to think about everything that went wrong But I think its over now And more than ever, now I hear That sweet old voice inside my ear It says Don't leave, you've finally made it home Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along I know it hurts to think about everything that went wrong But I think its over now Her hair is still soft and sweet Her eyes still green, her heart still beats For you and for the lord above Be done with the pain And get on with the love
