The Black Heart Procession - Even Thieves Couldn't Lie lyrics

It was mid-October when they would meet at the lake Down on barrelhill road beneath the moon There were no fish in the sky just catching sparks From all these falling stars His heart would never slip off the track 'cause this girl wasn't afraid of his tears So on one of those nights they got into the car She pointed at the map and said "any place looks good to me, just run with me" She said "any place looks good to me As long as you run with me away from here" She said "we don't need money when we've got us Because power it'll make any man weak I know" Even thieves they couldn't lie not when you look into her eyes All your plans will fall apart The storm held back beyond the mountains As the birds built the nest to lay her head Then she flew away from here The wind blows and her voice hides behind the trees As i walk to visit her grave So i climb into bed then close my eyes (close your eyes) And i can still hear her say "any place looks good to me, just run with me" She said "any place" even in my dreams As long as you run with me away from here She would say "we don't need the money when we've got us" "because power it'll make any man weak, I know" But it's her power that made this man so very weak She said "run with me away from here"
