Your eyes said what my heart couldn't say I said don't throw this all away You cried then you left And I prayed to god Then I followed you down That damp southern day turned to night To a cold flat coal black night You didn't even put up a fight When you saw that I'd followed you down I couldn't see what you saw Or feel the ice starting to thaw A gun shot was all That I heard when I followed you down I followed you down I followed you down I followed you Apparently asleep on the floor He didn't move anymore Blood as thick as oil When I followed you down I followed you down I followed you down I followed you down I followed you down I followed you down I followed you down I followed you down I followed you down You swallowed me down down down And I painted this town A slighter shade of brown |
