hollow as a bone
cowboy junkies
she hugged his head so hard to her heart
if this was not the way love felt
then for love she did not care
i want to run beside a moving train
yelling farewells in the rain
the tears will be bittersweet
'cause i know i'll see him again
i would feel as hollow as a bone
he could not help but hang his eyes
if this was not a state of grace
then grace he'd never know
i want to yell farewell from a crowded pier
just me and a thousand good-byes
the tears will be bittersweet
'cause soon she'll be back my side
i would feel as hollow as a bone
together our lives have been sewn
i would feel as hollow as a bone
we will kiss goodnight under a starlit sky
whisper oaths at a lumbering moon
dream sweet dreams before the morning comes
and serves us the dawn in our room
i would feel as hollow as a bone
