Kill the headlights at the cattle guard Walk on out where the windmill groans Mind the barbed wire, mind the rattlers, love Mind the white of the scattered bones Under the cedar where the ground's gone soft There's a bed that I dug for two Lie down, lie down, lie down with me The red dirt's warm as a wedding sheet I've been so cold, I've been so long alone Lie down, lie down, I'll keep you for my own Your mama's porch light's a thousand miles And your truck keys sink in the sand The stars go out one by one by one Hold out that trembling hand Something is breathing in the cedar boughs It's only me, only me, waiting up for you Lie down, lie down, lie down with me The red dirt's warm as a wedding sheet I've been so cold, I've been so long alone Lie down, lie down, I'll keep you for my own Hush now, the coyotes quit their singing Hush now, the windmill will not turn I clawed my way through a pine box, darling Just to teach you what the dead have learned Won't you be cold with me? Won't you be cold with me? Won't you be cold with me? Won't you be cold with me? Lie down, lie down, lie down with me The red dirt's warm as a wedding sheet I've been so cold, I've been so long alone Lie down, lie down, I'll keep you for my own For my own...
