I pulled out with the mountain laurel blooming
Em G D C
On a dirt road that is soon to be paved
Em G D C
Down to the site of my original establishment
Em G D C C
And the west end family grave
G D Em C
'Cause one day moves into two and I'm losing
G D Em C
Everything except for you
G D Em C
And I would sing you a song of devotion
G D Em C C
Yeah, that's what I should do
Em G D C
Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down
Em G D C
On the family tree, on the fields of war
Em G D C
I spend my time being broken hearted and grieving bound
Em G D C C
Yeah, I haven't much need to look forward
G D Em C
I just let one day move into two and I'm losing
G D Em C
Everything except for you
G D Em C
I would sing you a song of devotion
Em G Em
Book of days
G Em
The way things lay
G D C
That's just space and time
Em G Em
I gave it up
G Em
All for a love
G D C C
That won't be defined
Em G D C
I've had enough temporary acquisition
Em G D C
Building fences for no gain
Em G D C
Taking dead trees down before the winter freeze
Em G D C C
I said let 'em rot and fall where they may
G D Em C
I just let one day move into two and I'm losing
G D Em C
Everything except for you
G D Em C
I would sing you a song of devotion
G D Em C
That's what I should do
G D Em C
(One day moves into two and I'm losing)
Book of days It's the way
G D Em C
(Everything except for you I)
things lay Now that's just space and time
G D Em C
(I would sing you a song of devotion)
I gave it up All for your
G D Em C
(Yeah, that's what I should do)
love, that's what I should do
G D Em C
That's what I should do
G D Em C G
Yeah, that's what I should do
