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
 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
