Sturgill Simpson and Johnny Blue Skies - Jupiter's Faerie

For some reason, today I thought of you
Thought I'd look you up, see what you'd been up to
How long's it been? Ten years or maybe more
Since I told you not to call me, shut you out and closed the door
I'm sorry, I know it hurt but I'd moved on
The memories remained but the sentiment was gone
We belonged to the darkness and the moon
But I found a light so bright, thought I might live in its sun

Then today while walking lost, I saw a sign
That without effort brought your name to mind
So I decided to reach out after so long
Decided how we left, it was all wrong
It's okay to move on, but we don't have to close the door
And after all, what are real friends for?
So I went home thinking I would try to call you
I searched your name and then I saw the news
That there was no more you

I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter
And there was a time that I knew one
But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth
Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn

I used to write so many songs about you
Long after you went home that day
I laid alone so many nights without you
I spent years just hoping that you were okay
I cried an ocean of tears
Hoping it'd wash the pain away
But then today I read the news, you were gone
You'd left a year ago, chose to check out and move on

I guess the the pain became the only thing
Each and every day would bring
I'm sorry I wasn't there, wish I'd known
I would've tried to give you love
It'd been so long since I'd shown
But then had I, maybe you'd be here today
Suffering and crashing from sadness and its weight
But in my heart, I guess I always knew
Somehow one of us would end this way
So what's done is done, now there's nothing left to say

I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter
And there was a time that I knew one
But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth
Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn

One more glass of wine for a love so true
Then another and another, for today one just won't do
There's no happy endings, only stories that stop before they're through

I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter
And there was a time when I knew one
But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth
Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn
