I’ve kept my cards close
To my chest
I’ve dealt with heartaches
That I never have expressed
I haven't saved enough
To invest
But if nothing else I
Gave it my best
Yea I’m barely gonna make it by the skin off my ears
And I can see that it is all downhill from here
And when I finally get there, on the wings of a crow
I promise you I’m gonna tell John Prine hello
I had a good run for a
Mixed up man
Nothing ever went
According to plan
A lotta rain fell when I
Was weaker-than
I tried to smile for you the
Best I can
Yea I’m barely gonna make it by the skin off my ears
And I can see that it’s all downhill from here
And when I finally get there, on the wings of a crow
I promise you I’m gonna tell John Prine hello
Winter comes and winter goes
There is always an ending to the snows
I don’t know how, and I don’t know when
I just want to see the grass growing green again
And I can’t get it off my mind
I can’t get it off my mind
