Steep Canyon Rangers - When She Was Mine

When she was mine
I just followed my feet
I didn't look twice
When I crossed the street
The road would rise to meet me
When she was mine

When she was mine
The days floated along
The band on every corner
Was singing our song
I knew who I belonged to
When she was mine

{Chorus}
Such a beautiful well
I fell in too deep
Turns out the water
Never was mine to keep
And all that time
I swore that I was thirsty
And I was blind
When she was mine

When she was mine
She held the key
On a chain around her neck
Where I could see
But I never did want to be free
When she was mine

So if you see me now
Looking hollowed out
I made a hard choice
Oh my, my
Oh but you should have known me
When she was mine

{Chorus}
Such a beautiful well
I fell in too deep
Turns out the water
Never was mine to keep
And all that time
I swore that I was thirsty
And I was blind
When she was mine

She can cast quite a shadow
It was nice in the shade
And there's no mercy from the sun when it shines
But I never did feel it once
When she was mine

{Chorus}
Such a beautiful well
And I fell in too deep
Turns out the water
Never was mine to keep
And all that time
I swore that I was thirsty
And I was blind
And I was blind
And I was blind
When she was mine
