Lyrics

Oh my soul has broken into pieces
All my life has melted in the sun
This old man, he came from Minnesota
but looking even closer
you will see he?s young

Every night, I?m hoping he can save me
I could stay, but where do I belong
Though he thinks that I will not desert him
I will not desert him
We both know he?s wrong

And now it?s all uphill from here
and I don?t have the strength to climb
If I never leave, he might have me
but I will lose my mind
He might have me
but surely I will lose my mind

When he loves, I?m flying close to heaven
When he?s gone, I crumble to the ground
We have done an awful lot of talking
an awful lot of talking
No one?s made a sound

And now it's all uphill from here
but I don't have the strength to climb
If I never leave, he might have me
but I will lose my mind
He might have me
but surely I will lose my mind

In the dawn, when my old man is sleeping,
I awake, and listen to him breathe
Maybe I can pull myself together
Pull myself together
What is left of me

Now it?s all uphill from here
and I don?t have the strength to climb
And if I never leave, he might have me
but I will lose my mind
He might have me but surely
I will lose my mind
