When She Was Mine - Steep Canyon Rangers

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

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

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

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
