Banks of the 49
::Intro::

::Verse #1::
Sometimes I lie awake and I wonder how youâre doing
Itâs been a long time since we spoke
Last time I was there you had music in the air
We listened till the stereo broke
I told you I believed you itâs not really true
I only want to see you come alive
Winterâs come and gone and thereâs flowers on the lawn
I miss you coming up my drive
::Pre-Chorus::
Youâd tell me different if I ever lost my way
Youâd tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay
Youâd tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could
And youâd always be careful and kind
::Chorus::
If you want to know whatâs on my mind
Let me be some help to you this time
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
If you want to know whatâs on my mind
Come on up and see me Iâve been waiting for you all this time
::Interlude::

::Verse #2::
Up here the days last forever it seems
The sunlight caresses your face
You can hear the dogs howling at night
Youâll think youâre in the holiest place
Iâve always played it careful now maybe I was wrong
I think of you as fragile and young
I have seen the darkness come over your face
Felt the poison of your tongue
::Pre-Chorus::
Youâd tell me different if I ever lost my way
Youâd tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay
Youâd tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could
And youâd always be careful and kind
::Chorus::
If you want to know whatâs on my mind
Let me be some help to you this time
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
If you want to know whatâs on my mind
Come on up and see me Iâve been waiting for you all this time
::Solo::
::Verse #3::
Lately thereâs something disturbing my sleep
I dream about you almost every night
Youâre alone in your place and thereâs a look on your face
I donât know if it is anger or fright
All that I can tell you is Iâm waiting to hear
You know that I am faithful to a flaw
When you change your mind and you step outside
Hope Iâll be the one you call
::Chorus::
If you want to know whatâs on my mind
Let me be some help to you this time
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
If you want to know whatâs on my mind
Look over your shoulder I wonât be far behind
Come on up and see me on the banks of the 49
