The Clearness Is Gone - The Avett Brothers

Well your hair fell on me like I dreamt that it would

When I dreamt your hair was long

Through the linens a moment of clearness shown through

In a minute the clearness was gone

When to know what I should for my heart to rest

Doesn’t meet with the actions I make

I will seek the approval of no one but you

In love for the changes I take

The first time we fell for it

We blamed it on youth

And now we get hell for it

And blame it on truth

Of mind, oh my

Of mind, oh my

Of mind, oh my

Well your hair fell on me like I dreamt that it would

When I dreamt that your hair was long

Through the linens a moment of clearness shown through

In a minute the clearness was gone
