    Story Behind the Song

    Lyrics
    Underneath the flattening gaze of moonlight
    She's lighting up and blowing smoke
    To the edge of dawn
    Her memories are soaked in the happiness of a prison break
    That somehow she managed years ago

    I don't live there anymore
    But I try to stay in touch

    Big coal train hauled away the mountains
    And she caught sight of another world,
    Where she could go.
    It made her hard, it made her mad, it made her run away
    From all the sadness that she had come to know

    I don't live there anymore
    (She brought me with her, before I knew her)
    I try to stay in touch
    I don't live there anymore
    (She brought me with her, before I knew her)
    I try to stay in touch

    Her gardens cannot grow the bitter seeds
    The cynics sow and she still dances out in the rain
    That streams from the eyes of God who
    Always takes the longer view,
    Who sometimes blinks but never looks away

    I don't live there anymore
    (She brought me with her, before I knew her)
    I try to stay in touch
    I don't live there anymore
    (She brought me with her, before I knew her)
    I try to stay in touch
    Stay in touch. . .
