Vigil Lyrics - Blackie & The Rodeo Kings

Jenny ran along beside me 

With a handful of roses 

And a red petal caught in her hair 

She said some never know 

When their last friend is gone 

You look out and there's nobody there 

30 days I've been driving 

Never once going home 

Sleeping rough in the back of my car 

And the nights when I was drinking 

I would sit by the phone 

And lose all my courage at the bar 

CHORUS 

On the darkest highway 

On the hardest road 

On the weary vigil 

We keep alone 

So if I turn the whole thing over 

One more time in my head 

Will that memory fade over time 

Jenny lying awake in the arms of a man 

And her eyes looking straight into my mine 

CHORUS
