Recorded at home by Tyler M King in Dufer, OR. 2007.
lyrics
This old pain is all I know
Come the rain, come the snow
If the sun ever shines on me
Show the world my misery
I have climbed a mountain high
Came true love, came goodbye
That poor girl was all I knew
Her hair was blond and her soul was blue
I have stood on many roads
Seen folks come, watched em go
I kept my head up in the clouds
And left my feet back on the ground
I have lived, but now I must die
Give me ground, give me sky
Lay me down, and then close my eyes
Write my ma, and tell my friends I said goodbye
Cuz I can see that the sky is goin dark
Me and my own true love's been torn apart
Paint it black and send it back to the start
Lay me to rest and then send my best to my homesick heart
Lay me to rest and then send my best to my homesick heart
Lay me to rest and then send my best to my homesick heart
Lay me to rest and then send my best to my homesick heart
