lyrics

three o'clock in the morning
that's when we made our plans
it's the hardest thing for me to understand

and my mission was simple
to bring you back home
but i cannot hold the things i do not own

leaving west california
with a loaded gun
i was gone before i'd even learned to run

but i still smile now sometimes
when i think of how
you came like waves to wash and smooth me out

i have known you wounded
and i have known you wise
with a light to banish all my darkest skies

and the weight that you carried
what a row to hoe!
i could never pay you back all the things i owe
