lyrics

Copper & Steel

Copper steel aluminum paid for by the pound
Crushed into another life in another town
As the crow flies happiness aint far away / I walk these circles
Most of the night and the day

Do you know my name? Did you know my man?
Have you held a sweet thing and had it slip from your hand?

When I die I will go easy / For now I just do as I can
And this misery well it won’t always be / And I’m counting on that
I’m counting on that

Highway like a fur collar wrapped around the neck of my town
It gets hotter and hotter and the mink gets more tightly wound

I was your daughter in my 16th year / I had never known the blues
But thats what you wanted to hear

I sang in beauty and was praised by everyone
I sang it truthful like I knew what would come

When I’m done I will go easy / Right now I just do as I can
And this mysery well it wont always be / And I’m counting on that
I’m counting on that

And the scream of glass on glass
From the screaming of my name
Silver pearls diamond rings / To copper and steel what a shame
