Justin Vernon - A Song For a Lover Of Long Ago

Rain on the bar

Clinging water mars

Any hints of what I had

Because of what I became



Rain you are me

Shake the memory free

Can't squelch the molten soul

Can't chase away the hole



I have buried you

In every place I've been

You keep ending up

In my shaking hands



Rain, sound the alarm

The sting in my broken arm

The faintest violinist...buried in my gut

There are chances and choices sometimes you just have to cut

I have buried you

In every place I've been

You keep ending up

In my shaking hands



I have buried you

In every place I've been

You keep ending up

In every place I've been



. . . .



I have buried you

In every place I've been

You keep ending up

In my shaking hands



You keep ending up

In every place I've been

In my shaking hands

Every place I've been
