All Misery/Flowers

Would you leave me alone, my sweet Simone

If I lay on my back down below on the track

And remember a night, how I'd wade in the water

You were counting the stars

And starting me over

They'd shine, your eyes

Gonna make me rain gonna make me 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 done 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

Make me shake me bleed all over

Going down to drown in deep black water

Let's ride suicide

Say what you wanna but your neighbor don't lie

Gonna lay me down baby on a bed of hot thistle

Gonna die when I drown just a heartbeat away

With those lies in my eyes

Put 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 veins

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
