take my hand and jump with me
as im waiting for the day i die
wont you put my shoes by the fire
as my body comes ashore
my toes are cold with my feelings of dread
as you try to lock the door.
oh its a full moon tonight
watch the love turn into fright
oh my, my darlin dear
its not me you need to fear
you try to sing of our posterity
but I'm hollow my dear, cant you see?
leave me on my pedestal of trials
ill dream in the sky when I'm tired
the widow is loved by the ones up above
with no one to call her name.
and i find you crying on the floor
i can't help but feel we've done this before
