| [00:15] |
I had myself a lover |
| [00:19] |
But I held him much too tight |
| [00:24] |
He had a leather jacket and a pair of boots |
| [00:28] |
And he left one rainy night |
| [00:33] |
I hear he's up in Massachusetts whispering my name |
| [00:41] |
He left that leather jacket |
| [00:45] |
And I wore it till judgement came |
| [00:54] |
I had myself a lover |
| [00:59] |
And he played an old guitar |
| [01:02] |
Yeah I loved that busted Gibson |
| [01:07] |
But we pushed it a little too far |
| [01:12] |
He called me up from Arizona |
| [01:16] |
And let me know the news |
| [01:20] |
He left behind that Gibson and a good taste for the blues |
| [01:33] |
Think I'll drive past Carson Ranches |
| [01:41] |
Where that lonesome highway winds |
| [01:50] |
And I'll gaze up through the branches |
| [01:58] |
In a place called Cathedral Pines |
| [02:08] |
Once I had a lover |
| [02:12] |
He must have lost his way |
| [02:16] |
He wandered into a darkened wood |
| [02:21] |
And down a forgotten lane |
| [02:25] |
He left his copy of Leaves of Grass |
| [02:29] |
And a faded flannel shirt |
| [02:34] |
I never knew how much the memory of love could hurt |
| [02:46] |
Think I'll drive past Carson Ranches |
| [02:54] |
Where that lonesome highway winds |
| [03:03] |
And I'll gaze up through the branches |
| [03:11] |
In a place called Cathedral Pines |
| [03:21] |
I had myself a lover |
| [03:25] |
But I held him much too tight |
| [03:29] |
He had a devilish way of wriggling loose |
| [03:33] |
Then he left one Tuesday night |
| [03:37] |
I've got letters in a shoebox |
| [03:41] |
I've got numbers I can call |
| [03:46] |
Got a song on the dinner jukebox |
| [03:50] |
Got your picture on my wall |
| [03:58] |
Think I'll drive past Carson Ranches |
| [04:07] |
Where that lonesome highway winds |
| [04:15] |
And I'll gaze up through the branches |
| [04:23] |
In a place called Cathedral Pines |
| [04:32] |
And I'll stare up through the branches |
| [04:40] |
On my back in Cathedral Pines |
