lyrics

amber and smoke

A hundred horses and five freight trains
Couldn’t drag me into that early grave
I’ve cashed in all the mistakes I’ve made
While God rode shotgun from a million miles away

I don’t wake in sorrow I don’t walk in shame
I don’t deal in hearsay I don’t dwell in blame
Sometimes it’s best to forget what I know and what they say
But this aint that time ……and this aint that day

With the heart of a gypsy and the eyes of a child
I walk these fields and let my love grow wild
Filled with my fever I dare my desires
I don’t fear the flame I walk through the fire

I don’t wake in sorrow I don’t walk in shame
I don’t deal in hearsay I don’t dwell in blame
Sometimes it’s best to forget what I know and what they say
But this aint that time ……and this aint that day

I’ll keep ridin’ ‘til the trail grows cold
Where the hillsides burn amber and smoke
The sheep and the shepherd lost on different roads
Blinded by hate blinded by hope

I don’t wake in sorrow I don’t walk in shame
I don’t deal in hearsay I don’t dwell in blame
Sometimes it’s best to forget what I know and what I say
But this aint that time ……and this aint that day
