Dyin' mama barely breathin' in a bed of nails
|
To wander through the ruin smokin' and pale
|
Came upon an angel and a nightingale
|
Back where the darkness comes
|
Between the earth and skies above
|
Dead weight on my body's bones
|
I think I dug too deep a hole
|
Think I dug too deep
|
a hole
|
|
Better run for cover babe you better hide
|
Don't do no good to wait til time decides
|
Time decides
|
Time
|
Time
|
I need a little more time
|
Riding on my nightingale
|
So many years to, to ride
|
Hiding on my nightingale, around my heart
|
|
Climbing down the stairs at last
|
I wouldn't touch me right
|
You're too proud and I'm too scared
|
And I'm neither here nor there
|
It's only fear
|
Well open up the doors
|
And let me breathe that air
|
|
Better run for cover babe you better hide
|
Just don't do to wait til time decides
|
Time decides
|
Time
|
Time
|
I need a little more time
|
|
Mama I'm gonna cry now
|
Cry, I'm gonna cry now
|
Oh you're makin' me cry now
|
Cry, I'm gonna cry now
|
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
|
I'm gonna cry
|
Cry
|
I'm gonna die cryin'
|
|
Better run for cover babe you'd better hide
|
Just don't to wait til time decides
|
Tied around my nightingale
|
So many years to, to hide
|
Fly my nightingale
|
Around my heart
|
Who's riding on my nightingale (7x's)
