Always thought there'd be a casket
Pretty urn was how they masked it
Took her hand straight out of habit
Let it go soon as they sat us
Something sat on my mind that night
Must have lost it through the smoke sometime
Morning came like a carousel
Only trace hung over me
Caught the red eye back like a heart attack
Wind burned the wings, nose broke the snow
I can't see in front of me
Guess that's just how I'll be
I left town, took a rain check
Found her drinking on the back deck
I asked her, how do you feel
She shrugged it off till the next one
Caught the red eye back like a heart attack
Wind burned the wings, nose broke the snow
I can't see in front of me
Guess that's just how I'll be
Always thought there'd be a casket
Pretty urn was how they masked it
