I just, got the news
It keeps on spreading farther
It looks like we might lose
She says, she's always been
Her daddy's little girl
And hopes that we can win
She stayed, by his side
And kept him company
Morning noon and night
I know there's nothing to hide
In the midst of the darkness
The wind it cries
We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out
Canvas on the coast and I'm homeward bound
This is the last time
I'll hold your hand
So I begin to cry
I remember growing up
You always cared about me
Always showed me love
I'll see you, your smile again
Just on the other side
My broken heart will mend
I know there's nothing to hide
Faintly in the distance
The wind it cries
We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out
Canvas on the coast and I'm homeward bound
We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out
Canvas on the coast
I never got to say goodbye
I wish that I had the strength inside
They said my memories would change that day
If I saw you in the hospital bed
Where you lay
I couldn't count the tears I've cried
From the guilt I feel inside
I love you and I miss you so
We'll meet again one day, I know
We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out
Canvas on the coast and I'm homeward bound
We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out
Canvas on the coast
