Ennis left Alma, a quick peck, then off with Jack
The plan was to go fishing, and in two weeks he'd be back
As we know, that fishin line, never got wet
Would he do it again? You bet!
Though he begun and ended up with a paper sack.

Oh, another nice one! Let's try..

He'd thought the power was up on Brokeback,
Where, in his arms, he held onto Jack,
A companion where none had been expected...

But Alma's coffee went cold

But Alma's coffee went cold
His message she never told

Where, in his arms, he held onto Jack,
But Alma's coffee went cold
His message she never told
And he would never get over the lack

Out of sight, not out of mind
Across the miles, their lives entwined
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Out of sight, not out of mind
Across the miles, their lives entwined
Few words they ever spoke

Out of sight, not out of mind
Across the miles, their lives entwined
Few words they ever spoke
As they both dragged on a smoke
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
