Amie, Amen. (Acoustic Version)

We made our pledges

By the ocean

Back when life would never end

We had our sons, and our daughter

And realized we’d bit off more than we could chew

But Amie I’d go anywhere with you

We said someday

About most things

But never made the time

Yeah time ran us over

And drove off like he had something to prove

Amie I miss saying someday to you

I might not ever be able

To live my life as if it’s true

To get up and throw your roses down down down

Then go on pretending that you’re still around

Amie, Amen.

We ran easy

In the summers

When you weren’t teaching school

We made wine, in our bare feet

I’ve kept all bottles, only drank a few

Amie I will always keep you

On the last night

Of your cancer

You spoke like nothing ever changed

There was a wisecrack, then a whisper

In a moment it was over

There was nothing I could do

Amie I sat right by you

I might not ever be able

To live my life as if it’s true

To get up and throw your roses down down down

Then go on pretending that you’re still around

Amie, Amen.

I might not ever be able

To live my life without you

To get up and throw your roses down down down

Then go on pretending that you’re still around

Amie, Amen.
