Dead and Gone

When I rose from the dust of my fathers
The whole world was a cage for my soul
And since then I've learned how to be a daughter
To love, and to live as I'm told

[Chorus]
Rivers run south, oceans run deep
Blood runs thick and secrets don't keep
But this milk turns sour, words are unsaid
Hair turns gray, soon I'll be dead and gone, gone, gone

When the sun climbs the sky in the morning
I am thankful again for my breath
And as sure as the skin I was born in
I will chase my own tail 'till my death

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Outro:
(Rivers run south, oceans run deep
Blood runs thick and secrets don't keep
But this milk turns sour, words are unsaid
Hair turns gray soon I'll be dead and...)
Gone, gone, gone
Dead and gone, gone, gone
