It's just something we do
But don't tell me to go
Tell the wind not to blow
Let it fall by the way
It's just something we do
Tell the sun not to shine
Don't tell me to stop
Tell me everything I'm not
Tell the leaves not to turn
Tell me love isn't true
Tell me love isn't true
Like the mouth of a grave
Leave me where I lay
Don't tell me, I'll learn
Like a calf on its knees
Not to stare up at me
Tell the bed not to lay
Take the black off a crow
Tell me everything I'm not
But don't tell me to stop
Not to get up this time
Tell me everything I'm not
'Cause he said so
