Lyrics
Do you remember what the fortune teller said?
It seems to me she got it right.
Find it difficult to walk to narrow the path but I'm putting up a fight.
Sitting here writing these notes upon a napkin.
I could really use a drink.
I could weep to think how badly I been used, man.
I been pushed right to the brink.
Oh sweetheart hold my hand my head is heavy and my heart is hanging low.
Stop you're crying right now, stand up beside me.
I know how soon you got to go.
I know how soon everything goes.
I remember what my sister tried to tell me.
It look a long time to accept.
But even still I lose my grip and then I'm feeling like I'm coming so close to slipping.
The fortune teller, she was ill into a bucket
As I was kneeling by her side.
She took my hand, read it, gave me advice, and then I took it.
I don't know what made me decide.
Oh sweetheart hold my hand my head is heavy and my heart is hanging low.
Stop you're crying right now, stand up beside me.
I know how soon you got to go.
I know how soon everything goes.
