lyrics

You went out west
You went out west
You went out west
Your heart's making all of this sound
Clamoring light, unbound
What you gonna do when the whole world of new
And the love that you hoped for
The symphony you wrote for him
All comes crashing down

Can you hear the birds, the strings
I'll rosin up my bow
If you'll perk up your ears to hear it again
He don't hear the gold you sing
The honey that you bring
Everlasting love, don't feel it again
There's only so much you can give
That's his for the taking
Measured in cups
Spilling on the ground
As it's shaking
Now, now, now
Now, now, now

Where'd you think your heart'd end up when you crossed the
Continental divide
Where'd you think your heart'd end up when you crossed the
Continental divide
Feelings shift and open rifts
When you follow someone into the light
Where'd you think your heart'd end up when you crossed the
Continental divide

Back in town, Head hung low
like a beaten dog
Well honey it's just love
Un-feel it, again
But you're trying to keep it alive
Got ripped out long ago
You refuse to even know
The weight of the things you hold
Like you're pushing back and forth
Back and forth the blood
Back and forth the blood
Back and forth a flood
You can't outrun

Where'd you think your heart'd end up when you crossed the
Continental divide
Where'd you think your heart'd end up when you crossed the
Continental divide
Feelings shift and open rifts
When you follow someone into the light
Where'd you think your heart'd end up when you crossed the
Continental divide
