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.

Sometimes I wish I was dead and gone

That I walked this world no more

And all my troubles would pass away

As I walked through Heaven's door

As long as I can remember now

Been out here on my own

Oh how I wish I was in your arms

To rest my achin' bones

And put me in the water

And put me in my grave

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save

It's lonely in a border town

Where no one knows your name

I'd spin this world right into the ground

'Til only life remains

When doors are shut for you my dear

You simply break them down

But I just sat there biding my time

Until the keys just came around

And put me in the water

And put me in my grave

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save

There's holy ghosts and blinded eyes

They're fighting for my soul

I ain't the man that you thought you knew

I ain't that man no more

Remember when we owned it all

Those days went by so slow

But all those times are past and gone

And I've got nowhere to go

And put me in the water

And put me in my grave

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save

And put me in the water

And put me in my grave

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save

But no matter what you want from me

I ain't the one to save
