lyrics

v1
The lifeline of Jim
lays long and deep on his palm
At every intersection
a woman falls short in it's crawl
towards the end

v2
The first one had long blonde strawberry strands
a green eyed falcon
left alone on the tiles
she was found at sunrise
with those wild wide open beautiful dreamer eyes

CHORUS
Everything that man touches dies
tie a rope round his head
or next you know
you'll be dead too
i'm telling you
woman, i'm telling you
if it wasn't for the blood
running through his veins
he could wash himself clean
and avoid all this blame

v3
The second he married
of a non descript sort
18 years than they buried
a daughter who froze, declothed
in montana snows

CHORUS

v4
The woman with his eyes
baby blue and talon tongued
sits in the sun, contemplates
and fantasizes
her imaginary line
of Jim's life

CHORUS
