Things of which I dream of still
They found his fingerprints all over the pail
For all the things I said and did
Black eyed man I'm thirsty dear
Will not be sued by a simple line or two
What else did you expect me to do?
Dancing barefoot, bathed in light
They found his shoes by the pulley
And fell short a star or two
For the poisoning of the well
Yes he did things to me
The people around here
Yes I did go to him
Black eyed man I'm warning you
Cicadas trilling everywhere
"It ain't the water that's not right around here"
Yes your honor I do solemnly swear
They found his fingerprints all over the pail
He says to the people gathered round him
But completely against my will
That I saw him late last night
They found this shoes by the pulley
I'm sorry, I feel better now, do you?
Black eyed man he took the blame
I always meant to say I'm sorry
And reaching for every star in sight
What I say is what you'll do
And with a noose around his neck
Black eyed man I'm warning you
To hell with love and truth
But you promised me the sky
Be a love and bring some water here
