Lyrics Withered and Died - Elvis Costello
This
cruel
old
country
has
driven
me
down
Teased
me
and
lied,
teased
me
and
lied
I've
only
sad
stories
to
tell
to
this
town
My
dreams
have
withered
and
died
Once
I
was
bending
the
tops
of
the
trees
Kind
thoughts
in
my
head,
kind
voices
to
hear
Then
I
took
up
with
a
girl
from
the
West
Played
run
and
hide,
played
run
and
hide
Count
one
to
ten
and
she's
gone
like
the
rest
My
dreams
have
withered
and
died
If
I
was
a
butterfly,
lived
for
a
day
I
could
be
free
just
blowing
away
Silver
moon
sail
up
and
silver
moon
shine
On
the
water
so
wide,
water
so
wide
Slip
from
the
bed
of
a
good
friend
of
mine
My
dreams
have
withered
and
died
Once
I
was
bending
the
tops
of
the
trees
Kind
thoughts
in
my
head,
kind
voices
to
hear
This
cruel
country
has
driven
me
down
Teased
me
and
lied,
teased
me
and
lied
I've
only
sad
stories
to
tell
to
this
town
My
dreams
have
withered
and
died
My
dreams
have
withered
and
died
My
dreams
have
withered
and
died
