Lyrics

[female

vocals] (

Gentle

acoustic

guitar

picking,

melancholic

fiddle

swelling

in

the

background)

You

sit

there

in

the

shadows

of

the

porch

light’

s

glow

Talking

'bout

a

future

that

you

don't

really

know

You

say

you

love

me,

you

say

I’

m

your

queen

But

love’

s

just

a

word

if

the

action’

s

never

seen

Every

day

I’

m

waiting

for

a

hand

to

hold

But

you

disappear

like

the

wind,

turning

bitter

and

cold

I’

m

tracing

the

patterns

on

the

weathered

floorboards

Listening

to

the

silence

where

we

used

to

have

accords

It

ain't

about

the

silver,

it

ain't

about

the

shine

It’

s

the

quiet

little

moments

that

make

love

feel

divine

If

you

really

want

me,

if

you

want

me

to

stay

Then

put

your

shoulder

to

the

wheel

and

show

me

the

way

Don’

t

just

promise

me

tomorrow,

don’

t

just

offer

me

the

sky

When

the

ground

beneath

my

feet

is

already

running

dry

How

do

you

love

me

when

you’

re

never

standing

by?

How

do

you

care

when

you

never

even

try?

I

don't

need

the

diamonds,

I

don't

need

the

gold

I

just

need

a

fire

before

my

heart

gets

cold

Yeah,

how

do

you

love

me

with

an

empty

hand?

How

do

you

love

me

when

you’

re

sinking

in

the

sand?

I

don't

need

the

riches,

I

don't

need

the

fame

I

just

need

the

man

who

remembers

my

name

I

hear

the

neighbors

talking

'bout

the

way

we

used

to

be

Before

the

distance

grew

like

moss

upon

the

willow

tree

You

say

you’

re

working

hard,

you

say

you’

re

doing

fine

But

you’

re

losing

all

the

pieces

that

were

rightfully

mine

It’

s

a

lonesome

feeling

watching

you

walk

out

the

door

Knowing

that

you’

re

leaving

me

with

less

than

before

Every

promise

is

a

ghost

that

haunts

the

empty

hall

I’

m

tired

of

the

waiting,

I’

m

tired

of

the

stall

How

do

you

love

me

when

you’

re

never

standing

by?

How

do

you

care

when

you

never

even

try?

I

don't

need

the

diamonds,

I

don't

need

the

gold

I

just

need

a

fire

before

my

heart

gets

cold

Yeah,

how

do

you

love

me

with

an

empty

hand?

How

do

you

love

me

when

you’

re

sinking

in

the

sand?

I

don't

need

the

riches,

I

don't

need

the

fame

I

just

need

the

man

who

remembers

my

name

You

say

you

love

me,

but

I’

m

left

here

asking

why

Is

it

only

sweet

words

that

you

give

me

with

a

lie?

Are

you

hiding

from

the

truth

or

are

you

scared

to

show

your

face?

Are

we

just

running

circles

in

this

tired,

lonely

place?

Love

is

a

harvest,

you

gotta

tend

to

the

seeds

But

you’

re

only

giving

shadows

and

you’

re

ignoring

the

needs

How

do

you

love

me

when

you’

re

never

standing

by?

How

do

you

care

when

you

never

even

try?

I

don't

need

the

diamonds,

I

don't

need

the

gold

I

just

need

a

fire

before

my

heart

gets

cold

Yeah,

how

do

you

love

me

with

an

empty

hand?

How

do

you

love

me

when

you’

re

sinking

in

the

sand?

I

don't

need

the

riches,

I

don't

need

the

fame

I

just

need

the

man

who

remembers

my

name

Before

my

heart

gets

cold...

Before

the

story’

s

told...

Just

a

little

bit

of

truth

is

all

I

need

Just

a

little

bit

of

you

is

all

I

plead (

Fiddle

fades

out,

final

acoustic

guitar

chord

rings

and

sustains)
