A Different Tune

She came from the north
On a black and white horse
Soft as a Mexican road
Her eyes bright and dark
Like the streets of her heart
Hungry and wildly impossible to chart
She knows all the rules
Are written by fools
Who die in the end, anyhow
Humming the melody
To a lonesome old song
Something about somebody
Doing somebody wrong

By campfire light
Under shelter of night
He sees her face in the coals
Come morning she's gone
Like the cold winds of dawn
Whispering everything nobody knows
Wherever he's going
May be nowhere at all
He just knows it's somewhere
That's not Montreal
Humming the melody
To a lonesome old song
Something about somebody
Doing somebody wrong

And all of these ghosts
They see day and night
Are only shadows
Left by their light

All of these lovers, sound like each other
Hear how they howl at the moon
Maybe these broken hearts are just opened hearts
Singing a different tune
