Lyrics
Honest James
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Come back honest James
Come back to your town
Take your shadow's mistress
From our fertile ground.
Never one to cry out
But it's gone on too long
Every song is empty
Without your ???
Come back honest James
Your brother he is here
He rode into the darkness
and he needs you to be near.
Why don't you just tell him
what's inside your heart
Let love take over
you know the devil just ain't that smart
And I'll always love him
And I'll always love him
And I'll always love him
And I'll always love him
