Baby, I'm gonna go
All the things you taught me to
My shyness was an act
To make you feel secure
Baby, when I ache
Do you twist up inside
Like a white sheet billowing in the wind
Or do you burn I wanna turn you down low and walk out
No questions asked
And the road runs widest
Right before it stops
Say I'll take a sip
But I can't leave a drop
Oh, is this my weakness
Is this my weakness
Is this my weakness
Running off
In a dream I lied in wait
Sinking low into the sedges of the marsh
And I combed the thrush back
When you rushed through
Pushed your head under the water
Till all your breath gave out
Baby, go on, I hope you do
Find a woman with the patience it takes to love you
Bear your children
When it gets cold, when you give her the jacket I gave you
When you see me passing by
Smile and nod
Smile and nod
Smile and nod
Smile and nod
And the road runs widest
Right before it stops
Say I'll take a sip
But I can't leave a drop
Oh, is this my weakness
Is this my weakness
Is this my weakness
Running off
Is this my weakness
Is this my weakness
Is this my weakness
Running off
When you see me
When you see me
When you see me
When you see me
And the road runs
And the road runs
Oh the road runs wide
Is this my weakness
Is this my weakness
Is this my weakness
