Lord, I miss that girl  On the day we met the sun was shining down  Down on the valley  Riddled with horses running  Crushing them with flowers  I would have picked for her  On the day she was born  She runs through my veins like a long black river  And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm  Oh my soul    What does it mean?  What does it mean?  What does it mean to be so sad?  When someone you love  Someone you love is supposed to make you happy  What do you do  How do you keep love alive?  When it won't  What, what are the words  They use when they know it's over  "We need to talk," or  "I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"  I would've held your mother's hand  On the day you was born  She runs through my veins  Like a long black river and rattles my cage  Like a thunderstorm  Oh, my soul  What does it mean?  What does it mean?  What does it mean to be so sad?  When someone you love  Someone you love is supposed to make you happy  What do you do  How do you keep love alive?  When it won't  How do you keep love alive?
