Lyrics

I fell and tripped on a silver string,and i know,
how those times of the gallows still run cold,
the way she looked at me made me not want to go,
but i have always been one to do what i'm told.

but i'm all but wasted,
i guess i'm best this way,
saying how much i loved you,
was wasting my breathe away,

Give me something to help me sleep,
in shades of pain and ecstasy.
I held her in my arms that late tuesday,
oh this sweet love of mine has slept away.

but i'm all but crippled,
i guess i'm best this way,
saying how much i loved you,
was wasting my breathe away.

Sittin down by the river she said goodbye to me.
What was I supposed to do without you baby?
What am I supposed to see?
