Hollow As A Bone

Cowboy Junkies

4

She hugged his head so hard to her heart

it made her gasp for air

If this was not the way Love felt

then for love she did not care

I want to run beside a moving train

yelling farewells in the rain

The tears will be bittersweet,

'cause I know I'll see him again

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone

He could not help but hang his eyes

her beauty held him so

If this was not a state of Grace

then Grace he'd never know

I want to yell farewell from a crowded pier

just me and a thousand good-byes

The tears will be bittersweet,

'cause soon she'll be back my side

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone

You won't lose me, he replied,

together our lives have been sewn

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone

We will kiss goodnight under a starlit sky

whisper oaths at a lumbering moon

dream sweet dreams before the morning comes

and serves us the dawn in our room

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone
