Hollow As A Bone

Cowboy Junkies · Miles From Our Home [1998]

She hugged his head so hard to her heart

It made her gasp for air

If this was not the way love felt

Then for love she did not care

I want to run beside a moving train

Yelling farewells in the rain

The tears will be bittersweet,

'cause I know I'll see him again



If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone



He could not help but hang his eyes

Her beauty held him so

If this was not a state of grace

Then grace he'd never know

I want to yell farewell from a crowded pier

Just me and a thousand good-byes

The tears will be bittersweet,

'cause soon she'll be back my side



If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone



You won't lose me, he replied,

Together our lives have been sewn

If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone

We will kiss goodnight under a starlit'sky

Whisper oaths at a lumbering moon

Dream sweet dreams before the morning comes

And serves us the dawn in our room



If I lost you now,

I would feel as hollow as a bone
