Coal (Slow Version)

Darlin' you got the prettiest eyes

And when you walk through a room I sort of die

I like all the hardest parts of you

You make beautiful every shade of blue

I like the way you say my name

When that whiskeys got your tongue aflame

And I like the way you read Kerouac

Manana darlin' I'll promise that

So take my heart

And press it into coal

I'll make all your fires brighter

Make sure you don't spend a god damn minute cold

Sometimes I see a white truck pass through

And I think Wisconsin misses you

Though surely not more than I do

Send me another song or two

And I want nothing than to be

Always with you in up north country

Sure I know you gotta leave

But for now I'll forego that misery

We should drive to the carnival

Three towns away rip through the pines

And we should be the only ones

Dancing round neon funnel cake signs

So take my heart

And press it into coal

I'll make all your fires brighter

Make sure you don't spend a god damn minute cold
