Chorus One word. One beat. One sound. Keep it short. Don’t stretch it out. Say it once. Say it loud. This whole song stays on the ground. Verse 1 I walk down the long dark road. The wind hits my face like cold. A dog barks. A bell rings. Night comes. The black crow sings. Verse 2 You take my hand. We don’t speak. The moon hangs high. The stars peek. Rain falls hard on the tin roof. We stay close. That is the proof. Verse 3 He drinks tea. She drinks red wine. They laugh once. Then they both pine. Love can be a sharp small thing. It cuts deep. Then it can sting. Verse 4 Don’t look back. Don’t lose your way. The past is gone. Let it stay. Stand up straight. Hold your ground. What you lost won’t make a sound. Chorus One word. One beat. One sound. Keep it short. Don’t stretch it out. Say it once. Say it loud. This whole song stays on the ground. Last line So that’s it. The song is done. One small word. Then we are gone.
