  • 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? Writer/s: BRADLEY SMITH PEMBERTON, CATHERINE ANNE POPPER, CINDY CASHDOLLAR, JOHN P BOWERSOCK, RYAN ADAMS
