Daniel Lanois - For The Beauty Of Wynona lyrics

The ingots are burning red I'm working time and a half Tomorrow I'll stay in bed What a hell it is, what a life Laugh in my face, why don't you Laugh with the rest who know it well I tripped and then I fell for the beauty of Wynona At night I toss and I turn And I try and dial your number It's changed and god only knows Where you been since last December Where you been with that twisted smile Throwing your mother in the pond Break him easy when he go down For the beauty of Wynona Girls they skip double dutch They saw you go, mama gone My prayers don't mean nothing much To the heart that cannot be won Tangled in your fishing net Right here in my own bed Drowning in the tears I shed For the beauty of Wynona
