It's taken everything. Everything I got and it's hung me on the line. Water rising up over me. And I think I'm gonna die, think I'm gonna die. . I told a lie that's what I said.
Jesus knockin' on my door. Late last night, early this mornin'. Window glass, rusted and weary. I went straight through didn't hear no warnin'. . Just a roll of the dice and a precious vice.
She got those watchpocket blues. She cried like Mary at the manger. Ain't got time to lose. . No, don't care if I'm right. Baby, I'm just dying all the time.
Lay it to rest. You know my word ain't the best. It's just another question of faith. That I must take. Till it's laid to waste. Laid to waste, oh. . I stood and I watched you weep.
It's a broken morning outside. Go easy on my mind. 'Cos you're this dream I'm hangin' on. And I'm tryin' to meet the dawn. . And the longest way I traveled.
Lyin' in the quiet darkness. Gettin' high alone. Pictures shiftin' out of focus. Not as far to go. . Eyes to the sun. One more blind. Secret kind. . Yesterday is twice removed.
Winter's setting in again. And it feel like the end is near. Senseless sense and I'm alone. Watching' the seconds passing' by. . Come January, I swear to this world.
Deep into my tears. Hold me under drownin' in despair. So many years, only place to hide. Where she could fly never in the sky. . And I would not hesitate.
The hour is ending, can't you see. There is no way now, to get free. In the shadow of the season. Without a reason, to carry on. . Without a reason, without a reason.
On a day so long ago, now no one can remember. There's a change this too will pass and vanish in the haze. This is moving too far under the skin of your sight.
Now that we've run this road so many times. Tonight it will not take us home. Gonna go to that deep river. Where the water's moving slow. . Feels like there's nothing to explain.
Take a minute just to breathe. Take a minute 'till I'm wide awake. I'm searching' once again. And the sun has left the sky. . And you're on my mind. And you're on my mind.
Her ghost hides in my mind in the night. In a way she's haunting me. I'm wanting her still. . Through rose colored skies. Or blue, blue moonlight, and miracles.
Nowhere is the soul I felt. Now I've lost my way. Nowhere is the place I've been. Promise not to stay. . How it was and always is. Sometimes it never will begin.
A dog hides in the night. Don't know wrong from right. A dog hides from the heat. I need sugar sweet. I need some but she. Says I'm going to ruin my mind.
She wears a halo of ashes. Specter on the wind. Waits on me so patiently. I no longer can pretend. . Sky lies a thousand mile below. Stars shine and the moon is clear.
If you wanna get to heaven let me tell you how. Keep your hand on the gospel plow, hold on, hold on, hold on. Mary had a golden chain. Every link spelled Jesus' name, hold on, hold on, hold on.
This is for footsteps approaching the night. They keep themselves moving and do what is right. Now watch what you gather and hold in your hand. Numbers are many, misunderstand.
Come in under fallen galaxies. Keeping heaven and earth apart. All the skin, it can crawl all over me. You're watching me crawl from the start. . Destinations end.
All these dyin' days. I walk the ghost town. Used to be my city. I seen a holy man. Seen him cryin' with the Mother Mary. All these dyin' days. . Yes it's too late.
