Intro: D riff x 4
riff CaddD
He was a coal miner in the spring, blinded with its dusty resolutions
CaddD
broke his back for higher contributions, now he'd take anything
CaddD CaddD
we'll she was nineteen-seventy, burning like a cigarette long season
CaddD
Heir to all her family's old treasons, she makes love hard like an enemy
Oh ma he's dying
CHORUS:
CaddD CaddD
And the river don't sleep, when the water runs cold
CaddD CaddD
and the calender burns, as the story unfolds
CaddD CaddD
and the valley spans miles, when the mountain stands high
CaddD CaddD
can't they let us run wild for another midnight
Perhaps we're an election day, pumping hands and kissing the babies
ain't no time for shadowed doubts or maybes is there another way?
Or we're a stolen cadillac racing for a roadblock in the distance
flashing by a lifetime in an instance can we take it back?
oh ma he's dying, oh ma he's dying
CHORUS
