Lyrics

I told him that my dog wouldn't run
I told him that I loved someone
Yeah, that's my old car out in the parking lot
I saw him when he first walked in
I thought it was a vision of him
He was looking like where he had been
Looking kind of fragile
He said
I read the Bible every day
Trying to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away
My friend said, "Was he always like that?"
I said, "Yeah, but he was never this bad"
And I remember us playing for nickels and dimes
Out on the corner
I asked him to marry me once
He told me he couldn't because
This would be all that there was
He said
I read the Bible every day
Trying to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away
He was laughing but I didn't get the joke
He was dying to light up a smoke
And I wanted to cry
In the fluorescent light of the restaurant
I smiled and I got up to go
I was hoping for a goodbye to hold
But it was kinda like touching a ghost
So I ran when I walked out
He said
I read the Bible every day
Trying to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away
I got in my car and I drove
Over the bridge to the coast
Wondering where does old love go
