lyrics

There’s a rose upon a grave
Courage when not feeling brave
Someone got their execution stayed Tonight my love
It’s hard times for you and me
Things ain’t what they use to be
Faith in the future is a mystery Tonight my love
Still every day I push that stone
Up the highest hill all alone Been to hell and back
Now everything I lack
Gave me what’s true
With the best hope can do

Narrow streets and great divides
Everywhere some goodness hides
They’re breaking ground and choosing sides
Tonight my love
Put on a smile and remember this
Every lie is just a wish
I’m working hard on what truth is
Tonight my love
Remember John Henry died
With a hammer by his side
I’ll be a better man Take me as I am
Trouble will ensue
With the best hope can do

It’s a new wheel on a used car
A prayer on a shooting star
The sheer wonder of where you are
Tonight my love
We all gotta ride this train
Plowing through sleet and driving rain
Better days will come
I’m barely holding on
My baby blue
With the best hope can do
With the best hope can do
With the best hope can do
