Mahogany Dread

Well I can't go back, I know that now
 But who said I wanted to?
 Oh, when I cut my hair and I rode away
 Yes, on that bright day
 With the sun in my eyes
 I maybe told myself a lie
 Yeah, the dead are here, they never go away
 Oh, so I never ask them to
 But the misery of love is a funny thing
 The more it hurts
 The more you think
 Yes, you can stand a little pain
 ♪
 I can feel how you want the reins laid bare
 Do you think it's up to me?
 Oh, my baby girl with a song so fair
 The more she knows
 The more she cries
 I maybe told a couple lies
 Yes, the girl of mine with silver in your hair
 But I still want you
 It's getting hard to be easy now
 A couple of kids
 Mahogany dread
 But happy days are still ahead
