Verse 1

You came down the highway with the dawn in your hair

Dust on your blue jeans, no one else there

Every mile was a promise you were learning to keep

Every turn brought you closer to the love you could feel

Verse 2

You crossed through the valley where the cold rivers run

Kept your chin high when the long day was done

Now his heart is a letter you can open tonight

Hold it close, let it trust you, let it rest in your life

Chorus

Do you know how you walked down the roads through the night?

Barefoot, not caring your feet might be sore

His heart is in your hands now, keep it safe, hold it right

Don’t lose it, don’t break it, don’t leave it alone

Don’t let love turn to ashes you carry once more

Verse 3
