Jolene Lyrics

There's a lie that hides behind

The depths of your beautiful eyes

Jolene

It silently scolds me

Reminding me i'll never be

What you want of me

You deserve a thousand words

But i can only paint pictures for you

Jolene

I've been thinking alot about the things that rot

That once were alive and green

And i'm sorry

That i don't see the light like you want me to

But wrong and right

Seem like such a narrow lens to see through

Did i say too much

And would such thing be such

A means to make you leave my side

Jolene

There are no guarantees

Of a mind at ease

No strong sailor is made by the sea's

Smooth breeze

Years have passed

Where there once was grass

Now remain footprints

From travelers above

Can things that stray

Their separate ways

Ever meet another day

My love?

And i'm sorry

That i don't see the light like you want me to

But wrong and right

Seem like such a narrow lens to see through

Did we run out of time?

Or did we just have too much?

The moment is most sublime

When the

Minute is left untouched

And i'm sorry

That i don't see the light like you want me to

But wrong and right

Seem like such a narrow lens to see through

There's a lie that hides behind

The depths of your beautiful eyes

Jolene

It silently scolds me

Reminding me i'll never be

What you want of me
