Lessons From Stony
Will Oldham
I got screwed by the ones who put me in your path
"Now it's just you and me," I whisper, and you'd laugh
Half hearts, full mouths
I see you go on
And I go too
But not with you
I go with me
Carolina finds me, not knowing north from west
Lessons learned from stony have suited my heart best
When I close my windows
I see you go on
And I go too
But not with you
I go with me
Not enough time to be honest, let's hope that there's no final tally
Quietly, stony said he'd be my loud and ornery ally
When you learn I'm half woman
I see you go on
And I go too
But not with you
I go with me
