Avett Brothers (The) - Feb. 20, 2000 lyrics

The whipping of the flag above it sung me to sleep and I awoke to feel her hair dancing on my cheek I awoke with the crazy feeling that I was where I belong and the sun warmed a remembered love in my head I heard this song Dont leave, youve finaly made it home aint this the girl that you wanted all along I know it hurts to think about everything that went wrong but I think its over now And I cant believe how her hands still fit perfectly in mine if I dont take my chances now Ill be searching all my life Trying to find the feelings that I knew with this lovley country girl if those plans are just a young mans mistake why am I still so set on her Dont leave, youve finaly made it home aint this the girl that you wanted all along I know it hurts to think about everything that went wrong but I think its over now And more than ever, now I hear that sweet old voice inside my ear it says Dont leave, youve finaly made it home aint this the girl that you wanted all along I know it hurts to think about everything that went wrong but I think its over now Her hair is still soft and sweet her eyes still green, her heart still beats for you and for the lord above be done with the pain and get on with the love
