Song for a Coalman Lyrics

TWO IN THE TOWN
HEADS LOW AND DOWN
I THOUGHT THAT THESE DAYS HAD LEFT ME NOW
BUT ALL OF THE RUBBLE AND ALL OF THE STONES REMAIN
AND NOW I MISS YOU SO MUCH
THAT I NEVER WANT TO MISS YOU AGAIN
WELL WE WAITED ALL NIGHT FOR THE DAY
AND WHATEVER REMAINED
WE PRINTED IT OUT AND CHUCKED IT AWAY
TOOK STICKS FROM THE TREES
AND DREW WAVES FROM THE BEACH IN THE SOIL
WE PUT CROWS INTO HOLES
AND WE COUGHED FROM OUR THROATS TO MAKE OIL

AND YOU LEFT FOR A YEAR
AND THEN YOU RODE OUT HERE
AND MY FATHER SAID SON KEEP CLEAR
BUT I AM CARELESS AND SLOW
AND THE LESS THAT I KNOW NOW THE BETTER
SO LET GO OF MY ARM
THERE'S BEEN NOTHING BUT HARM SINCE YOU MET HER
I AM LONELY WITHOUT
YOUR COMFORT ABOUT
THE SHAPE OF YOUR FACE
IN THE STREETS OF THIS TOWN
BUT THERE IS NOTHING WE'VE LOST
THAT I CANNOT STILL THROW AWAY
I AM HAPPY WITHOUT
BUT PRECIOUS AND PROUD OF OUR DAYS

LIKE WHEN WE SLEPT IN FIELDS
AND IN THE NIGHT I DREAMT
OF A FOX IN THE FIRELIGHT JUST SITTING THERE
AND IN THE MORNING THE FOOD HAD GONE
SO IT WAS YOU OR HIM
AND I KNOW NOT WHICH
AND I KNOW NOT HOW OR WHEN
SO WE KICK DOWN THE HONEST STREET UNDER FEET
BUT TONIGHT YOU SIMPLY LIED TO ME
AND TRULY MY MAN
TRULY MY FRIEND THE END
BE WELL AND AWAY I NEVER WANT TO MISS YOU AGAIN
BE WELL AND AWAY I NEVER WANT TO MISS YOU AGAIN
BE WELL AND AWAY I NEVER WANT TO MISS YOU AGAIN
BE WELL AND AWAY I NEVER WANT TO MISS YOU AGAIN
