More Genius Lyrics, Shooter Jennings ‘All of This Could Have Been Yours’
The poetry of this song just amazes me, lyrical genius is all I can say
I had a cure, for your disease
But you threw it away
And you made it clear I was not welcome on these seas
And you threw it away
So I sailed and I sailed for so long
My hair grew long and my heart grew cold
I face certain death without you near
And I felt the storm and swam until the skies were clear
And I found a home along this crooked road
And all of this would have been
All of this could have been yours
All of this should have been
All of this could have been yours
Black clouds roll, right over red doors
As the waves were high
Sooo was i
And the moon never looked so angry
As when your walls came crumbling down.
It was so beautiful
It was so peaceful
All the destruction, it was quiet
All of this would have been
All of this could have been yours
All that you love, will be carried away
Oh all that you love, will be carried away
