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 there selling flowers   Has 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
