If I had a rocket ship and a Gatling gun
 I'd fly all the way up to the sun 
Shoot it full of holes til I put out the light 
Fall back to the ocean and call it a night 

Gonna call John Henry help build me a railroad 
Straight through the coal mines, pick up a big load 
Dig a hole to China, ride it on down 
Keep sinking low til I come out on higher ground 

I still see her there 
How the river wind plays her hair 
Gold in fallen light 
Right by my side 

I could take a razor to my blank stare 
Bleed out every memory of her in there 
Toss my eyes like dice into the sky 
But I'd come up empty, still asking why 

I still see her there 
How the river wind plays her hair
Gold in fallen light 
On the levee by my side 
Giving me her time 
The wild meadow of her mind 
The bloom of her soft kiss 
Why can't it stay like this 
And nothing less? 

These days nothing stays the same 
But my tongue remembers the shape of her name 
Love is free and free to roam 
But I can't quit no matter how far away she goes
