For the Beauty of Wynona - Daniel Lanois

The ingots are burning red

I’m working time and a half

Tomorrow I’ll stay in bed

What a life I lead, what a life

I burn my fingers, why don’t you

Laugh with the rest who know it well

I tripped and then I fell for

The beauty of Wynonna

Ohhh at night I toss and I turn

I try and dial your number

Ohh it’s changed and God only knows

Where you been since last December

Where you been with that twisted smile

Throwing your mother in the pond

Break him easy when he go down for

The beauty of Wynona

Girls they skip double dutch

I saw you go mama gone

Our prayers don’t mean nothin' much

To the heart that cannot be won

And in your wishing well

Right here in my own bed

Break him easy when he go down for

The beauty of Wynonna
