Carolina well I'll be damned
They're playing our song
And you ain't holding my hand
If I were a younger boy
I may not understand
The weight of the world
On the back of a man
I begged you to stay
I've done all I can
Please, please don't leave me here
But I couldn't blame you
After all of these years
I tried my hardest to believe
That living was the best for me
And all our saints agree
That the blood will set us free
And they said
The world is a quiet place if you listen carefully
The world is a haunting place if you choose to believe
The world is alive
With you and me

Oh my darling I have failed
To understand your words
And you don't know my plans
Though I've asked you not to yell
You disobeyed my words
And no I won't untie your hands
Maybe this time you'll come around for me
Maybe this time you'll stay around for me
Oh, oh, oh for me
Now my darling we're alone
With no one left to hear
So consider this your home
Please detach yourself from this
Reality we've known
It's politics we've outgrown
You don't understand
There's nowhere to run

Dead Trees Version

I will lay you down
On the wooden bed
To anyone who will say my name
They will shut the door
Be on your way
Then everyone forgets your pain
And all of our friends are digging just to find new ground
And everyone wants what is yet to be found
I don't wanna be caught standing looking down
When the end is near, it comes quick and without sound

Oh you're talking, talking quite a lot
And you say to me
It's what you have and have not got
That will break through these
Chains that do not have a lock
And you say
I'm ashamed
Run away

Let these words be light on your feet
But hard on the back of what's beneath
The station is calling for the key
Everything is gone now freedom is set free
So run away boy there is nothing left to see
But a town hidden deep under weeds
These men have made the sea
Lead the way but don't make your run
Be choice with your words
Be quick with your gun
She's a girl with hardly a soul
Two times a snake
Three times as bold
So come on boy there is so much left to see
You're young and everything's a mystery
Don't be buried by the sea
Oh the nights are the youngest
But you should have known this
Don't bargain with beggars and pride
Oh this town is so empty
So please just convince me
To stay for a while
Lose my money and maybe your child
I'm on the run
Baby I'm wild
