Select language to translate this lyric
Green-eyed looker, it always pains me to see
Hollowed out picture of skin and bone
The strangest stranger that I ever did meet
Oh and I guess I ainât that old
She came on strong with her own confidence
Made you sweat in your cotton, though itâll breathe
The cruelest behaviour ainât born or mined (?)
Feel her shell should just go and down the wine (?)
Itâs deep water, driving rain
And all I can remember is a cold
Another burned out lover who was begging to leave
She said âwhy wouldnât you tie your soul to me?â
Took all I had in my waiting cell
And a little of what I just donât know
But I got my thinking up to where I fell
And I let the memories of my lovers die
Itâs a bitter taste and a, a blinding light
Time fade burns, most would know
Took the hand of the, the woman I love
Now I am sure Iâm gonna make her my own
Itâs the deep water, the driving rain
Iâm making a shelter of my own
When Jesus comes heâs gonna eat with me
And heâs gonna find our children old
Got a road all laid out and trenched
And mined enough for a walking pace
It seems so different from where Iâve come
Oh Lord Iâd love to see that, that place again
With its deep water, mountain range
Full of those hard living kind
Petrol stations and a copper mine
The kind of place I think I could die
