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?
