Would you leave me alone, my sweet Simone If I lay on my back down below on the track And remember a night, how I'd wade in the water You were counting the stars And starting me over They'd shine, your eyes Gonna make me rain gonna make me rise When I'm gone baby don't you forget it I did all I did just to get through to Heaven
Got no mother She can't find me Got no father He done blind me Little girls might twitch at the way I itch But when I burn It's a son of a bitch
Hold on hold on Hold on, all misery gone
Make me shake me bleed all over Going down to drown in deep black water Let's ride suicide Say what you wanna but your neighbor don't lie Gonna lay me down baby on a bed of hot thistle Gonna die when I drown just a heartbeat away With those lies in my eyes Put you down in the river till you testify
My mother she don't know me And my father he can't own me Little girls might twitch at the way I itch But the way I burn is a son of a bitch Make me shake me deep black water Gonna run through my veins Gonna make it rain Baby I'm gone so don't you forget it I did all I did just to get through to Heaven
Hold on. hold on Hold on, all misery gone Hold on. hold on Hold on, all misery gone
If you could hear me love I'd tell to you my story To you and only you So love that you might save me I woke up from a dream I woke up I was crying I saw an animal With eyes like mine on fire I saw my own true love She was a sullen flowers Was she forget-me-nots White lilies or red roses And then from far away Who's that I see come riding Upon a pale white horse Come riding fast as lightning
Oh, If you can hear me love I'd tell you my story So that you might save me So that you might save me So that you might save me So that you might save me
