lyrics

The Honey Dewdrops - Only You Can Know

While I’m away play my favorite song, “I’ll See You in My Dreams” and “Miss You All Day Long”
Maybe “I’ll Remember April” or “Over the Rainbow” and I can always find you wherever you go
I’ll listen so close, all the tensions that play, over and over and over again

When I’m asleep play my old guitar, the dry old wood, the clean honest heart
The notes to play to keep away the bitter night ghost, point like a heart song, the melody close
The cinder vibrations impossible to see, and help me to rest all night

If I get lost, wear my old boots ‘round, in the sweet, sweet woods, the creek running down
The swollen, peppered pine holds the ice so tight, the moss frozen hard, air thin and light
Only you can know the fine, fine path, we been down so many times together

All the cowboy songs you started to sing about the goldmine in the sky and all them things
If the rainbows over the range stretch out so far and burn like the first light of morning
