And Your Days Are Gone - Sheryl Crow, Dave Alvin, Phil Alvin

some people give up on the money

some people give up for the pain

some people give up for no reason

unable to start again

then they give up for the promise

on a ticket that they can’t sell

then they give up on each other

before the truth they’ll tell

and our days are gone

and the days are gone

you can give up for confusion

too afraid to take another step

and all your dreams come crashing down

for a moment you’d like to forget

and in that tiny moment

you can change the course of time

then your luck runs out

up the water spout

cut down in your prime

and our days are gone

and your days are gone

in the whispers of young lovers

who cannot organize their thoughts

that they for the first time

the sweet sadness of love’s been bought

what do you do with such a thing

so powerful so frail

holding hands you jump in the water

a story only dante could tell

and our days are gone

and your days are gone

well i’m sorry for what has happened

and i guess that you are too

and here we are lost and forgotten

the price we pay for what we do

but i want you to know that i loved y
