I woke up from a dream
Make me, shake me, deep black water
So that you might save me
I'd tell you my story
I did all I did just to get through to heaven
To you and only you
Who's that I see come riding?
Hold on, all misery gone
Gonna die when I drown just to have it away
Make me, shake me, bleed all over
Hold on, hold on
When Im gone baby, dont you forget it
I woke up, I was crying
Going down to the ground in deep black water
Little girls might twitch at the way I itch
Come riding fast as lightning
And then from far away
Little girls might twitch at the way I itch
Say what you want but you make it, dont lie
I did all I did just to get through to heaven
Has she forget-me-nots
She was there selling flowers
And my father, he cant own me
If you could hear me love
So love that you might save me
Dont let me down, baby, on a bed of hard thistle
I saw my own true love
Got no mother, she cant find me
Hold on, all misery gone
Be counting the stars and starting me over
So that you might save me
Baby Im gone, so dont you forget it
Upon a pale white horse
Got no father, he gonna blind me
Those lies in my eyes
So that you might save me
But the way I burn is a son of a bitch
Hold on, hold on
Gonna run through my pain, gonna make it rain
I'd tell to you my story
Push you down in the river till you testify
I saw an animal
Hold on, hold on
My mother, she dont know me
With eyes like mine on fire
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, all misery gone
Remember the night, how Id wade in the water
Gonna make me rain, gonna make you rise
Hold on, all misery gone
White lilies or red roses?
Oh, if you can hear me love
They shine your eyes
Lets ride, suicide
But when I burn its a son of a bitch
