Black houses in the hill and roadside hearts

Dying for a place to fall apart

Who knew what you could learn to live without

Mother Mary's lying in your mouth

Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine

You left to look for heaven

But you're far from that hard light tonight

verse 3: use verse 1 chords
So quietly we've lost another year
the desert put a babbler in your ear
mean firewood and I miss you again
Barstow boys are spit into the wind
Bm Em Am
Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine
D
and every girl has got an axe to grind
Bm Em
You left to look for heaven
Am D
But you're far from that hard light tonight
