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
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.
