Cowboy Junkies - Thirty summers

^ACaught in the vice of ^Dheaven and earth H^Ae turned his life into a ^Ecell ^AImprisoned by the doubts that ^Dhound us all And the de^Asires that ^Ewe all know ^Aso well His ^F#mdays lost to ^Apromises, his ^Dnights he purged of ^Adreams And he'd ^Awake in the hours before ^Esunrise And dread the ^Dcoming ^Eof the ^Aday

^ANever thought a man could be^Dcome so desperate ^ANever thought a life could lose ^Eso much hope To be ^Atearing at the roots ^Daround you As if in ^Amanacles, or ^Eirons, or ^Aropes They ^F#msay he told his ^Achildren that ^Dall he taught was ^Alost That ^Alove and pride and ^Ehonesty Were ^Dgained at ^Etoo high a ^Acost

It's been ^Athirty summers that I've ^Dspent with him And I ^Aexpect thirty more to ^Epass He has ^Ablessed my life in so ^Dmany ways That I could ^Anever ^Eturn my ^Aback But ^F#mI need just one more re^Aminder Of the ^Dman that he used to ^Abe If he would ^Ajust look deep in^Eto my eyes And say it's ^Din you my love ^Ethat I will find the ^Akey.
