[length: 05:25]
[00:16.89]This church is a mess, jackets and crutches
[00:20.99]Clutch pearls and buckets of ice
[00:25.19]Dyed cotton candy, blonde lady does the honours
[00:29.16]Introducing all the family who fights
[00:32.87]And the sunlight of late afternoon
[00:37.33]Leans across the altar ’til it slaps the groom
[00:41.34]The flowers we gathered in ribbons of blue
[00:45.54]Clutched tight to her chest in her room
[00:49.52]And the band played “Christ Is Risen Today”
[00:53.67]While everybody waits
[00:56.98]’Cause nobody knows who they really are
[01:02.00]To the stranded in Coronado trashed at the bar
[01:06.05]’Til the wind carries all of the things you love most
[01:10.90]Long loose strings tangled in the trees
[01:14.87]Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
[01:18.47]Where I needed to be
[01:22.01]
[01:26.87]Your hair smells of lilac, roses and cinnamon
[01:31.07]And waves moving slow across the rocks
[01:35.43]Humid and heavy, clouds of salt water
[01:39.50]Rusted the hands off the clocks
[01:43.33]And I smoke cigarettes in the heat
[01:47.90]Watching Flamingos from the hotel balcony
[01:52.02]My head was on fire and the bartenders knew
[01:56.23]Written on the wall, in cursive, “We’re through”
[02:00.14]And the band played “The Safety Dance”
[02:02.74]As I cried in the taxi alone
[02:07.11]’Cause nobody knows that they are the fool
[02:12.36]Stranded in Coronado, drunk at the pool
[02:15.88]’Til the drinks carries off the burden at cost
[02:20.36]To let go of things you already lost
[02:24.49]Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
[02:28.07]Where I needed to be
[02:32.96]Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
[02:36.58]Where I needed to be
[02:39.13]
[02:44.84]The highway was empty, we speeded on safely
[02:49.22]Tears falling onto your dress
[02:53.12]The ring on your finger disappeared slowly
[02:56.98]You let go already’s my guess
[03:01.17]And you cried as we made our way home
[03:05.04]Said you didn’t wanna leave
[03:06.76]But I could tell by the things that your ma and your pa didn’t do
[03:13.15]Like look me in the eye as we said goodbye
[03:17.14]And the band says Wednesday’s my right hand
[03:20.90]As I pray for you at night
[03:24.66]’Cause nobody knows what they really want
[03:28.91]Til’ the car’s full of boxes and you watch it drive off
[03:33.27]The cocaine and pills and the drinks, they wear off
[03:37.03]And the cigarettes, they just make you cough
[03:41.08]Oh, woman, your love brought me to my knees
[03:45.01]Where I needed to be
[03:47.75]
[03:53.64]The house is so quiet
[03:55.62]I hear the leaves fall from the lemon trees where
[04:01.51]There’s now too much room in this house made for two
[04:05.86]Your side of the closet’s so bare
[04:09.86]I still hear the sound of your voice
[04:14.55]Calling my name like some midnight train
[04:18.71]Rumbling heart full of ghosts
[04:22.58]Of everyone that I loved, I miss you the most
[04:26.52]And the plans that we made they fade like the sun on the coast
[04:34.49]’Cause nobody knows what they really need
[04:39.53]Til’ it’s too late with no reason to wait
[04:43.32]You wake up insane, screaming her name
[04:47.07]But there’s no one to blame now but me
[04:51.19]Oh, woman, your silence brought me to my knees
[04:54.90]Where I needed to be
[04:59.02]Oh, woman, your silence brought me to my knees
[05:02.92]Where I needed to be
