The Toll Songtext
von Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

I′d never known her to cry
But this time is different for sure
She's shaking with tears in her eyes
As she picks up what′s left of the night
The hope for a reason seemed pure
As we leave what's left on the wall

But, oh, how it's taken its toll
Oh, how it′s taken its toll
Everything′s taken its toll
Everything's taken its toll


There was more than a break in the smiles
They rose and slowly they tired
As she turned the moments were made
There were none that could prove where she lay
There′s a calm in the stories now told
And the distance will always be home

And, oh, how it's taken its toll
Oh, how it′s taken its toll
Everything's taken its toll
Everything′s taken its toll

Everything's taken its toll
It's a moment we carry alone
With a cause, there′s a cure for the soul

But, oh, how it′s taken its toll
Oh, how it's taken its toll
