Never Right His Wrong

from Find The One by The Coal Porters

/

lyrics

he came back one hot September night
he said " I've been so lost but I can make it right"
you know I fed you lies, lest we forget
here I am, love, the rest I regret

he hung his hat up on that 'ol nail in the wall
looked around, thought man she's a doll
so many days and nights, that starry prairie sky
all he'd been lookin' for is some kind of sign

Chorus
his arms were open, his yes like the dawn,
but she ain't the same since he's been gone
his mind was made up, the past an older song
but she knew then that he'd never right his wrong

she turned her back, wiped the sweat from her brow
knew she couldn't bear even one more row
poured him a glass of his ol' Yukon Jack,
lookin' at the floor, her heart felt the cracks

excuse me honey, I'll be right back.
she crept downstairs, found some kind of sack
threw in some memories, said can't do this no more
turned on her heel and just bolted out that door

Chorus

the rain had come but she couldn't feel a thing
past the wheat fields, you could almost hear them sing
now the whistle of her own harvest train
takin' her away, its tune a sweet refrain

no more grain and gas and yellow canola fields
her eyes are waitin' on Pacific Ocean teal
the sky is clear now, a west coast eagle soars
this train is bound for that Rocky Mountain shore

Chorus
