Deep beside the bedside light
Eyes red and dead sleep to fight
There's a country song on the radio
And it's one I heard long ago
She sang it once on the way to the north
And she always moved back and forth

She fell for a starry eyed guy
Yet he never learned to cry
He built his life away from her
And she chased his allure
All across the countryside
He made her cry
And as she would cry to me
I built a love no one could see

Sometimes, as the night falls in
And the paranoia begins
She'll send me thoughts of pain
To pour them down my drain
And when I give her all I have
All I have and all I am
She falls asleep by dreams
That I have made and he will breathe
