A Song While You're Away 가사

Up in your nephew's room Playing on his cousin's guitar I wrote A song for you You have done drove off With everything I need My box And my tumbleweed I picked it up On the way To Flagstaff years ago I was hanging on To everything You had the grace to show You were young And you were hungry Lord knows I was hungry too We were both Flat-out starving For something Worthwhile to lose You were my bread And I was your honey Up against The dark red wine Trying to hold on To the lovely Through the bitter Of our times Looking over the hill At the lights of your hometown I wrote This song for you Thinking of the way we met A girl home from school And a boy Just passing through I got a job As a cut man At a house Just down the road I had never been To town before And I didn't Know a soul I was young And I was hungry Lord knows You were hungry too We were both Flat-out starving For something Worthwhile to lose You were my bread And I was your honey Up against The dark red wine Trying to hold on To the lovely Through the bitter Of our times Agate white Wedding dress Turquoise on your ring Upright bass and violin As you walk the aisle to me I was young And I was hungry Lord knows You were hungry too We were both Flat-out starving For something Worthwhile to lose You were my bread And I was your honey Up against The dark red wine Trying to hold on To the lovely Through the bitter Of our times
