lyrics

Outlawed neath a bloodstained sky
So desert far from where you lie
Held your hand in the pouring rain
Now no needle's going to kill this pain

Who can tell blue from grey
Ain't no sides, once the Piper's paid

So wish upon a distant train
And hold onto tomorrow's rain
There ain't no end and there ain't no grave
For all the love that was laid to waste

Down in the holler in your yellow dress
Smiling silent as the sun that sets
Dark eyes lost, such mystery
Turning all the light on inside of me

My sweet magnolia, burning bright
Candle lost to endless night

So hang your head at the end of this world
It only brings back just a ghost of a girl
There ain't no end and there ain't no grave
For all the love that's never seen its day

So hold on to tomorrow's rain
And wish upon a distant train
There ain't no end and there ain't no grave
For all the love that you couldn't save
