She was standing there by the broken tree Her hands were all twisted she was pointing at me I was damned by the light coming out of her eyes She spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky She said ‘ Come on over to the bitter shade, I will wrap you in my arms and you’ll know you’ve been saved’ Let me sign, let me sign, can’t fight the devil so just let me sign.
I was out for a drink in a soho bar The air was smoked out liked a cheap cigar She rose out of her seat like a painted ghost She was the woman that I wanted the most As she reached for my arm I gave her my hand I said ‘Lay me down easy let me understand’ Let me sign, let sign, can’t fight the devil so just let me sign.
As I walked through the door she was still in my head As I entered the room she was laid there in bed She reached out for me all twisted in black I was on my way down, never coming back let me sign, let me sign, can’t fight the devil so just let me sign. let me sign, let me sign, can’t fight the devil so just let me sign
