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
