[Verse 1]
Empty promises I've given
Hollow heart beats in my chest
And every word of sterling silver
Stirred butterflies beneath your breast
[Verse 2]
Still untouched by ties a-binding
Goin' where the gulf breeze blows
No ring of gold around your finger
No ring of brass run through my nose
[Chorus]
Headlong for the wall now honey
Still coming up like a rose
Dead still in the garden
Waiting for the reveille
And the dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
[Verse 3]
Hear the song she sang in darkness
Tearful, fair, and free and fine
You're the one she softly whispers
My canary in the mine
Empty promises I've given
Hollow heart beats in my chest
And every word of sterling silver
Stirred butterflies beneath your breast
[Verse 2]
Still untouched by ties a-binding
Goin' where the gulf breeze blows
No ring of gold around your finger
No ring of brass run through my nose
[Chorus]
Headlong for the wall now honey
Still coming up like a rose
Dead still in the garden
Waiting for the reveille
And the dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
[Verse 3]
Hear the song she sang in darkness
Tearful, fair, and free and fine
You're the one she softly whispers
My canary in the mine
