Prophetstown Lyrics & Tabs by Elway
Prophetstown
guitar chords lyrics
It's a sordid sort of feeling
When you learn to live with spite.
It's a desperate kind of living
When you're burning up the night.
Getting sick of all the drinking
Getting sicker every day.
Cause I can't say the things I really want to say
I remember when Chicago seemed a million miles away
I was chained by quiet longing on that Independence Day
A month across the country built in all I learned from you
I sang those thoughts away just like I always do.
It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
But I'll remember every step
I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
Please just remember I'm not the one who left
But I'll remember every step
I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
Please just remember I'm not the one who left
And I never will
All the aches and shits and quivers hurdle in with morning light
and a somber sense of longing steals my breath and grips my spine
I can feel the salty ocean suck the moisture from my skin
And I know staying here will surely do us in
And I walked on down to that lonely shoal, where my best hopes go to die
I thought I will keep you in my pen, until the ink wells all go dry
And I'll keep it like a secret every day
