Winter's Youth

in the winter of your youth
with a string tied 'round your tooth
your momma slammed the door
don't wanna hear no more
don't wanna hear no more
from the corners of your mouth
as the truth came wandering out
you long for something else
your life upon the shelf
your life upon the shelf
out upon the open road
you learned to say goodbye
such a lovely day to die
all these things I've seen
within your two blue eyes
in the silence of this town
There's the truth came wandering 'round
your neighbor slams the door
don't wanna hear no more
don't wanna hear no more
out upon the open road
you learned to say goodbye
such a lovely day to die
all these things I've seen
within your two blue eyes
