Started down the road a long, long while
At sixty-five miles she cracked me a smile
And told me, I'm not to blame

But those dark and stormy skies, reflected in your eyes
Always bring me back to those tiny, little lies
That you told me, that kept him safe

Now you put your hands together and pray like its mass
Its only thirty days until he gets another pass
But he blamed me, and left you crying

When the banshee calls, she calls a screamin'
She's here to take one more away before their time of leaving
And though snow and God cast shadows
Started with your eyes, and dig until your mind lay fallowed

The soldier sings a song in the middle of the night
Singing, goes out get drunk and starts a fight
That he loses. Picks his teeth up off the street

There's a needle on the table, and bottle by his bed
And I listen to the words that echoed in his head
And he told me, why he's going away

Well its dark inside the gloom, the one he calls his room
And hell this ain't a home, well he's making it a tomb
So he asked me, if we could leave tonight
When the banshee calls, she calls a screamin'
She's here to take one more away before their time of leaving
And though snow and God cast shadows
Started with your eyes, and dig until your mind lay fallowed

Well I think about the night, the night that I left
And I never, ever saw, or heard from her again
Still I wonder, just where the hell she went

And her brother's out now, and doin' okay
I try to go and see him every other Saturday
But Sunday, he ain't doin so well

Now I wait a little more, for a knock upon my door
And a tiny little letter falls and hits the floor
To tell me, about the car

When the banshee calls, she calls a screamin'
She's here to take one more away before their time of leaving
And though snow and God cast shadows
Started with your eyes, and dig until your mind lay fallowed

And though snow and God cast shadows
Started with your eyes, and dig until your mind lay fallowed

Well it started with your eyes
