Blackie – Vigil lyrics

Jenny ran along beside me
With a handful of roses
And a red petal caught in her hair
She said some never know
When their last friend is gone
You look out and there's nobody there

30 days I've been driving
Never once going home
Sleeping rough in the back of my car
And the nights when I was drinking
I would sit by the phone
And lose all my courage at the bar

CHORUS

On the darkest highway
On the hardest road
On the weary vigil
We keep alone

So if I turn the whole thing over
One more time in my head
Will that memory fade over time
Jenny lying awake in the arms of a man
And her eyes looking straight into my mine

CHORUS
