lyrics

Somewhere outside of Tonopah
I happened on a sign
It reminded me of something that you said
When you were mine

We were naked in the springtime
When everything was new
In the candlelight
Romancing with the shadow in the room

When you were mine
Oh you were mine
I loved you in the dark after
The sun burnt out my eyes
Won't you come inside
I was standing in the doorway
When you changed your mind

I saw a dead coyote in the middle of the road
I carried her into the desert and I put her in a hole
Our love is like a cactus
That will never bloom
In a valley watching mountains crumble
Underneath the moon

But you were mine
Oh you were mine
I loved you in the nighttime
Long after I was blind
I must've lost my mind
Oh but nothing lasts forever
Except goodbye

Goodbye, oh goodbye
Goodbye, oh goodbye
Goodbye

But you were mine
Oh you were mine
I loved you in the dark after
The sun burnt out my eyes
Won't you come inside
Oh but nothing lasts forever
Except goodbye
