Forgiving You

Did you take my love to the heavens above

Or to Denver or some mountain city?

Render my heart with the hand of an artist

Hey now, I'm stocked for the drought

I'm settled in, there ain't no gettin' out

Hey now, don't you know where that leaves me?

Learnin' in kind, the voice in my mind

Ain't never been mine all along

And forgivin' you is a thing I can do

No matter what you have done wrong

I relate to it all as a Whip-poor-will calls

Lovesick and open about it

Lonesome for home that I left long ago

And finally I did, I put in my bid

For a life I kept quietly under my lip

Finally I did, like a starry-eyed kid

Learnin' in kind, the voice in my mind

Ain't never been mine all along

And forgiving you is a thing I can do

No matter what you have done wrong

At the old county line, see the loggin' road signs

They run through the country like veins

The red oak and hickory and dogwood and pine

Hey now, there's no need to hide

No one could find you now, not if they tried

Hey now, where does that leave me?

Learning in kind, the voice in my mind

Ain't never been mine all along

And forgivin' you is a thing I can do

No matter what you have done wrong
