Heard the crack on the evening
When they told me that you would be taken
I knew that something was wrong
The fever inside you was strong
Oh ooh oh
Time spent on the rivers and mountains
That moonshine makers had found
Walkin’ and findin’, mappin’ and blazin’
Cookin’ and burnin’, sleepin’ and yearnin’
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh
When you left, my soul it was shaken
Time all alone would be hard
Harder than all my thinking in spring
Harder than beauty and breaking
Oh ooh oh
break Oh ooh oh
I remember the crack in the evening
When I heard your last breath leaving
The look in your eyes couldn’t tell me good-bye
Something inside me is keeping
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh
