[Intro: Sarah Jarosz & Aoife O'Donovan]
What's left
When the ground cracks
And the sky is black

[Verse 1: Jarosz & O'Donovan/Jarosz]
It's a lonely life
Everybody lives, everybody lies
When the Earth shifts
I'm gonna leave you on the other side
You will reach through me, you think
That you need me but you don't need me

[Verse 2: Jarosz & O'Donovan/Jarosz]
Oh it's a lonely life
I'm an old fisherman
Throw out my line
I'll pull you in
Drive my boat, drive my hook
Pull it out and throw you back into the deep end
Oh it's a lonely life

[Chorus: Jarosz & O'Donovan/Jarosz]
What's left
When the ground cracks
And the sky is black
Where will you land

[Verse 3: Jarosz & O'Donovan/Jarosz]
In a game of pieces baby
What's your strategy
Try your best, connect to me
But the ocean is wider than you'd think
In a continental jigsaw

[Outro: Jarosz/Jarosz & O'Donovan]
It's a lonely life
Everybody lives, everybody lies
When the Earth shifts and you leave me on the other side
It's a lonely life
Oh it's a lonely life
