Zoe Muth And The Lost High Rollers - Before The Night Is Gone lyrics

I was hoping to rest a while but this cup of coffee will have to do Now I've one hand on the wheel and one arm reaching out to you Closed your eyes in Grand Junction and I ain't heard a word since then So I'll just try to stay inside the lines and mind the sideways wind All I've got is the radio and this empty distant sky And Willie's singing somewhere over the rainbow But you no you won't see the tears in my eyes Chorus: Before the night is gone Won't you tell me our love will linger on? And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark ‘Cause I need someway to see in the dark Thought I could be honest and you thought you could be true The promises we made were many but the ones we kept were few We were looking for green gra** and a warm and loving home But we've got this cold concrete curse in our blood and our bones When we crossed that great divide it was in the back of both of our minds Like the rivers from that point you'd go your way and I'd go mine Chorus: The gas station on the state line where we saw the posted signs The government was saying they were sorry and trying to apologize About the poison in the sand and the lies they told again and again They thought if they gave us enough money that we would all understand But babe you never will and that's why I love you still No matter how far we drift apart You'll always have a piece of my heart Chorus:
