(Acoustic
guitar
gentle
fingerpicking) (
Soft
swell
of
a
pedal
steel
guitar)
I
remember
the
day
that
I
took
your
hand
Built
you
a
castle
on
this
dusty
land
With
pure
intentions
and
a
heart
so
true
I
gave
every
ounce
of
my
spirit
to
you
We
said
our
vows
beneath
the
willow
tree
Promised
a
life
of
sweet
harmony
But
the
seasons
changed
and
the
sky
turned
grey
And
the
love
we
nurtured
started
drifting
away
Now
I’
m
walking
on
glass
in
the
home
that
we
made
Watching
the
colors
of
our
promise
fade
With
every
sharp
word
like
a
thorn
in
my
side
I
swallow
the
hurt
and
I
swallow
my
pride
I
keep
it
all
quiet,
I
keep
it
inside
'Cause
a
man
learns
to
suffer
with
nowhere
to
hide
Your
voice
like
a
hammer,
it
cuts
through
the
hall
I’
m
the
target
of
anger,
I’
m
the
weight
of
it
all
I
sit
at
the
table
in
a
heavy
defeat
While
you
plant
the
bitterness
under
our
feet
I
see
my
reflection
in
my
children's
eyes
But
they
mimic
your
scorn,
they
mimic
your
lies
They
look
at
me
now
with
a
cold,
hollow
stare
Acting
like
I’
m
just
a
ghost
standing
there
Now
I’
m
walking
on
glass
in
the
home
that
we
made
Watching
the
colors
of
our
promise
fade
With
every
sharp
word
like
a
thorn
in
my
side
I
swallow
the
hurt
and
I
swallow
my
pride
I
keep
it
all
quiet,
I
keep
it
inside
'Cause
a
man
learns
to
suffer
with
nowhere
to
hide
You
call
my
silence
a
lack
of
respect
A
sign
of
a
spirit
you
think
you
can
wreck
You
don't
see
the
sorrow,
the
trembling
hand
Or
the
breaking
heart
you’
ll
never
understand
I’
m
guarding
the
life
that
I
have
left
in
me
Before
there's
nothing
but
dust
left
to
see
So
I’
m
packing
my
things
in
the
dead
of
the
night
Giving
up
on
the
peace,
giving
up
on
the
fight
It’
s
a
painful
departure,
a
long
road
ahead
Better
to
leave
than
to
live
like
the
dead
I
wish
you
the
best
in
the
home
that
remains
But
I’
m
breaking
the
shackles,
I’
m
breaking
the
chains
Yeah,
I’
m
walking
on
glass
in
the
home
that
we
made
Watching
the
colors
of
our
promise
fade
With
every
sharp
word
like
a
thorn
in
my
side
I
swallowed
the
hurt
and
I
swallowed
my
pride
I
kept
it
all
quiet,
I
kept
it
inside
But
a
man
needs
a
reason
to
stay
and
to
hide
Goodbye
to
the
shadows,
goodbye
to
the
sting
I’
m
letting
go
of
the
weight
of
the
ring (
Fade
out
with
lonely
pedal
steel) (
Last
chord
rings
out)
