Meadowlark Valley - Beside the Hearth

She saw the lies that he had told himself
There was no disguise that could hide the voice inside
She penned a letter to ask about the reason for the pain
And it said, "Come back to me"
He left a week ago through the kitchen window
To walk along the streets like it was a bad dream
Blue and hurt irises looking wide
And She said, "Come back to me"
Lost was the Good Man, oh
Lost was the Good Man, oh
Lost was the Good Man, oh
Lost was the Good Man
He was a good man, well dressed and well versed
He carved his name on the surface of her heart
Looking round and round, she couldn't find the ash beside the hearth
And She sighed, "Where did I come from?"
Lost was the Good Man, oh
Lost was the Good Man, oh
Lost was the Good Man, oh
Lost was the Good Man
Way back before the Earth was torn
There stood outside the vineyard sunflowers you'd worn
The crashing ocean's tide
Kept perfectly still
I rued the days when I kept it inside
