When You Were Mine Lyrics

Somewhere outside of Tonopah

I happened on a sign

It reminded me of something that you said

When you were mine

We were naked in the springtime

When everything was new

In the candlelight

Romancing with the shadow in the room

When you were mine

Oh you were mine

I loved you in the dark after

The sun burnt out my eyes

Won't you come inside

I was standing in the doorway

When you changed your mind

I saw a dead coyote in the middle of the road

I carried her into the desert and I put her in a hole

Our love is like a cactus

That will never bloom

In a valley watching mountains crumble

Underneath the moon

But you were mine

Oh you were mine

I loved you in the nighttime

Long after I was blind

I must've lost my mind

Oh but nothing lasts forever

Except goodbye

Goodbye, oh goodbye

Goodbye, oh goodbye

Goodbye

But you were mine

Oh you were mine

I loved you in the dark after

The sun burnt out my eyes

Won't you come inside

Oh but nothing lasts forever

Except goodbye
