mahogany dread

well i can't go back

i know that now

but who said i wanted to?

when i cut my hair and i rode away

yes

on that bright day

with the sun in my eyes i maybe told myself a lie

the dead are here

they never go away

so i never ask them to

the misery of love is a funny thing

the more it hurts

the more you think

you can stand a little pain

i can feel how you want the reins laid bare

do you think it's up to me?

oh my baby girl with a song so fair

the more she knows

the more she cries

i maybe told a couple lies

girl of mine with silver in your hair

i still want you

it's getting hard to be easy now

a couple of kids

mahogany dread

but happy days are still ahead
