Would you leave me alone
My sweet Simone
If I lay on my back
Down below on the track
Remember the night
How I’d wade in the water
Be counting the stars
And starting me over
They shine,
Your eyes;
Gonna make me rain,
Gonna make you 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 gonna 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
Hold on. hold on
Hold on, all misery gone

Make me, shake me bleed, all over
Going down to the ground
In deep black water
Let’s ride suicide
Say what you want, but you make it don’t lie
Don’t let me down, Baby, on a bed of hard thistle
Gonna die when I drown just to have it away
Those lies in my eyes
Push 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 pain, 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
