When You Were Mine

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

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

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

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 and beautiful, awful world

And the rage that descends, into our collective heart

Still I remember the miracles in bloom

When you were mine

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, smell and touch

Oh my dear heart, I still love you that much

When you were mine

It was Heaven on earth

It was Heaven on earth

Heaven on earth.

When you were mine
