Forever, Soon

The coyote cries The dogwood dies The harvest hangs the moon The fire flies From a young boy's eyes When he finds the heart to lose The willow weeps for no one But two young lovers in early June I'll be with you Forever, soon The years go by And I don't know half Of what I knew at 21 Those endless skies Of Montana They taught me how to run From the demons deep inside me To the rivers, cold and true As the wind blew I ran to you So light up all the smoke we got I'll be gone tomorrow If tomorrow never comes We'll die in peace Honey kiss me like you met me yesterday We'll make like Jesse James and ride away Memories fall on this tired town Like wet December snow Like an old drunk daddy, they come back around With nowhere else to go In the autumn breeze, I hear whispers Of a girl I used to know Broken heartstrings Of a tired ghost So light up all the smoke we got I'll be gone tomorrow Though nothing's guaranteed For boys like me But you knew that, baby Say you're just insane enough to stay We'll make like Jesse James and ride away Honey, say you're just insane enough to stay We'll make like Jesse James And ride away
