Coattails Of The Wind © 2003 Jeannette Desnoyers/SOCAN, lyric; Chuck Crowe/BMI, music My eyes burn as I watch you from the door And I hear the peaceful sound of breathin’ My tears start fallin’ on the cold wood floor As I think of the love I’ll be leavin’ My hands shake as I open the oak desk My heart stops when I hear the hinges creakin’ This pen feels heavy like a smokin’ gun As I write off a life while you’re sleepin’ CHORUS If love could change the roving kind I’d shed this weathered skin But you can’t tame the restless soul Of a man who rides the coattails of the wind You’ll wake up from your dream and reach for me When you hear the breathless sound of leavin’ My words will echo ‘round the empty room As you try to deny what you’re readin’ Chorus If love could change the roving kind I’d shed this weathered skin But you can’t tame the restless soul Of a man who rides the coattails of the wind Bridge I look back and I feel your pull But I’ll push forward in time But it’s against my nature to stay So I’m leavin’ my heart behind Repeat chorus If love could change the roving kind I’d shed this weathered skin But you can’t tame the restless soul Of a man who rides the coattails of the wind
