lyrics

MILE OUTSIDE OF KIRKLAND
She was standing by the roadside
With a suitcase in her hand
Heading off to somewhere
She didn’t understand.
And the snow was falling soflty
like diamonds on the ground
A mile outside of Kirkland
and her world was burning down.

She was feeling kinda tired
though the morning was still young
She was once wild and reckless
but those days were gone.
And ain’t it kinda funny
how you wear each other down
A mile outside of Kirkland
and her world was burning down.

Tell me darling Katie
Where are you going to?
Is it something you were needing?
Or is it something you once knew?

He wasn’t some kind of monster if that’s what you mean
But life can be so hard and your hurt the ones you need
She remembered all the nights
He held her in her arms
A mile outside of kikland and her world was burning down .

The night shift was ended
and the day crew came on.
He came home to find
that the one he loved was gone.
And all the kings horses
and ll the Kings men.
Couldn’t put that love together again.

She remembered all the nights
He held her in his arms.
A mile outside of Kirkland
Her world was burning down.
