I Know Will Never Be Mine

Walking in the backstreets on the poor side of town
The radios a wailing' as the sun goes down
Lighting my version of her moonlit skin
Comes with the dust and goes with the wind
I wish the footsteps I'm havin' could be doubled again
I wish the footsteps I'm hearin could be doubled again
With a stroll as gentle as a mandolin
Walkin beside me in the soft nights breeze
Carries me away back on my knees
Oh how I'm dreaming Oh how I'm so blind
How can I want something that I know will never be mine

Oh the stars in a race with my last earthly moon
and the . of the keys to the very last room
Set freeing a dream in soft nights wind
That sends me away then back again
Oh how I'm dreaming' Oh how I'm so blind
How can I want something that I know will never be mine

Then I wake in a cell with my candle gone
Out the bars i see the gallows at dawn
Gone is the night with it my dreams
I hear the jangle of keys, they're coming' for me
And Ohh how i'm dreaming' Oh how i'm so blind
How can I want something I know will never be mine
And Ohh how i'm dreaming' Oh how i'm so blind
How can I want something I know will never be mine
How can I want something I know will never be mine
