She Hangs Brightly

They say it's me,
That makes you do things
You might not have done,
If I was away
And that's it's me,
That likes to talk to you
And watches you,
As you walk away
Don't say it's useless,
Don't say forget it
Don't bring me wishes,
Of silly dreams
Just say it's all,
From too much freedom
Too many fingers,
And to anything
They say it's you,
That washes the weary
And brings the night into the day
If you won't notice,
How can I show you
All of you worries,
Have all gone away
Don't leave me lonely,
Don't leave me unhappy
Just bring me up into your fate
If you don't need me,
Then don't deceive me
Letting my freedom turn into stone
Just be my angel,
If you love me
Be my angel,
In the night
Be my angel,
'Cause you need me
Be my angel,
And treat me right
Don't say you love me,
If you don't need me
Don't send me roses,
On your behalf
Just take me down,
And walk through your river
Down the middle,
And make it last
Holding on to you,
Holding on to me
Holding on tight,
'Till my love is crossed
Don't say it's useless,
And don't say forget it
You are my spirit,
Now you are gone

I'm sailin' sailin'
To a place i've never seen
That's way down south
Sweet 'ol new orleans
Cause my hometown friend treats me awful mean

If i could holler
Yeah holler
If i could scream and cry
It hurts me so
When i look up in the sky
Cause my friends turn their heads
As they pass me by

Now it's rainin'
It's rainin'
The wind's blowin' cold
Lord i thought i heard
My train whistle blow
Now i'm gonna sail so far
Til i won't be back no more

Pardon me, pardon me
It's so hard to stand
I ain't got no money
Uncle sam has called my name
Now there's not a soul
To give me a helpin' hand

I fell asleep in the silence
Before the street fights the fire
Free in the world that you've given
Lay in the sound,
The water still calls,
Still calls
Afraid of the dark that surrounds me
Hide in the dirt of the ground
Free in the wind that surrounds me
I'm not afraid to sleep in the night
Not afraid,
To sleep in the night
Free like a bird of the holders
Holding the wake of the sun
I know the road that you send me
I know the way it leads to home
Real like the bones in my body
Real like the flesh that covers the grave
It's real,
Like the flesh
That covers, The grave
Wait for the guards that you send me
Before I'll show myself,
Wait for the storm that comes to me
Maybe I'll just change my mind
Plea for the will of forgiveness
I'm not afraid to say I was wrong
I was wrong
Maybe I won't
So long
So long

Red oh red,
The taste of blood
On lips of wine
Red so silent,
Wait a minute
Or just a little while
What are you looking for,
The taste of red,
The taste of fear
From your seemingly convincing smile
Red oh red,
The taste of blood
On lips of wine
The time is waiting maybe
Takes away from your demise
From your demise
Say you're slippin'
Maybe so
It's not easy
Now you know

Give you my lovin',
Seven days a week
I'll be a honey,
If you'll be sweet
I know I'm the only one for you
I know that you think this is not true
Man says it's rainin', Rainin' outside
I'll be out there in a little while,
Cause you see Rain reminds me of you,
And everything has turned to you
See you in places,
I'm following you
You'll be upstairs,
And I'll be there too
Everywhere you go I will follow
I know it won't be the same tomorrow
People give me warnings,
Stay away from you
They say you'll hurt me,
I don't think that's true
Discomfort arouses when I speak of you
As if you've been sayin' something bad
About me
When I see you,
I want to kiss you
But I know that ain't right
So I ask if I can hold you
Oh babe I need you so bad
Oh babe I only want to make you
Glad

She hangs brightly from the tree
Wonders what she's done to me
I'm aware of your game
Come and watch me
Watch me come down
Takes me down deep and wide
Pulls me through to the other side
She's the winner of her game
Come and watch her
Watch her come down
It stays down
Sour in truth
Lies of lovin'
The story's cheap
She's the winner of her game
Come and watch her
Watch her come down
Deep and wide
Inside, inside, inside
