The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Hollow As A Bone Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
She hugged his head so hard to her heart
It made her gasp for air
If this was not the way love felt
Then for love she did not care
I want to run beside a moving train
Yelling farewells in the rain
The tears will be bittersweet,
cause I know Ill see him again
If I lost you now,
I would feel as hollow as a bone
He could not help but hang his eyes
Her beauty held him so
If this was not a state of grace
Then grace hed never know
I want to yell farewell from a crowded pier
Just me and a thousand good-byes
The tears will be bittersweet,
cause soon shell be back my side
If I lost you now,
I would feel as hollow as a bone
You wont lose me, he replied,
Together our lives have been sewn
If I lost you now,
I would feel as hollow as a bone
We will kiss goodnight under a starlit sky
Whisper oaths at a lumbering moon
Dream sweet dreams before the morning comes
And serves us the dawn in our room
If I lost you now,
I would feel as hollow as a bone
