The Armageddon was about to drop You smiled a tear and the whole mess stopped A hot tornado swept through our sleepy town Lifted everyone and everything gently set 'em down When you were mine
My beloved Harley was stolen out the yard I was crushed, he was my best friend and fierce comfort Heartsick weeks later, woke to a tender sound Harley scratchin' at the door, home unhurt and safe All was lost then it's found When you were mine, when you were mine
Coke dealer Paulie from Coney Island Selling his death to rookie teens Wide-eyed not a line on their faces Finding trouble in terrible places Harley was suspicious, took a chunk out Paulie's leg Got infected, undetected, now Harley pisses on Paulie's grave
Ah sweet justice When you were mine I'd dance a crooked line When you were mine
I fantasize you 10 years down the road A crinkling 'round your eyes An ageless soul so lovely and bold I know someday we'll find each other again Stop this heartbreakingly beautiful, awful world And the rage that descends, into our collective heart
Still I remember the miracles in bloom When you were mine When you were mine Love was always in time When you were mine I'd dance a crooked line When you were mine
Come back baby, out of the fiery dark While we still got skin and eyes and smell and touch Oh my dear heart, I still love you that much When you were mine It was Heaven on earth When you were mine
