\begin{verse}[\versewidth]

	My love, I am the speed of sound
	I left them motherless, fatherless\\
	Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths\\
	But it's never enough

	I want you

	Carved your name across three counties\\
	Ground it in with bloody hides\\
	Their broken necks will line the ditch\\
	'til you stop it, stop it\\
	Stop this madness

	I want you

	I have waited with a glacier's patience\\
	Smashed every transformer with every trailer\\
	'til nothing was standing\\
	Sixty-five miles wide\\
	Still you are nowhere\\
	Still you are nowhere\\
	Nowhere in sight

	Come out to meet me\\
	Run out to meet me\\
	Come in to the light

	Climb the boxcars to the engine through the smoke into the sky\\
	Your rails have always outrun mine\\
	So I pick them up and crash them down\\
	In a moment close to now\\
	'cause I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss\\
	I miss how you'd sigh yourself to sleep

	When I raked the springtime across your sheets

	My love, I am the speed of sound\\
	I left them motherless, fatherless\\
	Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths\\
	But it's never enough

	My love\\
	I'm an owl on the sill in the evening\\
	But morning finds you\\
	Still warm and breathing

	This tornado loves you\\
	What will make you believe me?\\
	This tornado loves you\\
	What will make you believe me?
