Sunlight on my face
Ain't as warm as it used to be
Summer's done turned into Autumn,
Summer's done turned away from me.
But I'll be damned if I'm done with Summer
I ain't goin' out like that.
Autumn makes me wanna pull out my gun and put it in her face
And make her tell me, where Summer's at
[chorus]
Oh child, can you feel me now
Oh hey child, can you feel me now
Dead leaves under my feet
Reminds me that she's gone.
And though I know she'll come around someday
My heart can't wait that long.
For my heart can't sing when the sky is cold
My soul can't fly when my heart is cold
And if my soul can't fly
What's the point, of growin' old.
Well I, shot that man this mornin'
Didn't think to give him warnin'
I just put one in his head
And I made sure he was dead
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord what have I done?
Well before the law could hunt me
I took his body to the country
And I dug a shallow grave
And I threw his ass away
In the ground, and I turned and walked away
Although I know that I've done bad
I don't feel the least bit sad
I'm just scared that they might catch me
And then of course then they will ask me
My G-d why? The truth is I don't know
Well I came home to the wife
She'll never know I took a life
She'll just think I am the same
As when she took my name
She'll never know, what I really am.
Once I had me a woman, you know she done me wrong.
Sometimes, when I think of her, my heart it sings this song.
Things that she taught me, I would've never, ever known.
Then she hurt me one last time, then she left me alone.
[chorus]
Well I could sing, till I, was blue in the face.
Pray every day just to remember the taste
Of her lips oh as they would bring me so high
And remind me, that I
Was alive
Last night, when I dreamed of her, she was in my arms again.
I could feel her breath against me, but my heart will never mend.
The truth is, she's gone now, she don't want to speak to me.
She's probably with another, though it'd break my heart to see.
[chorus]
Oh and it makes me wonder
Will I ever see her again?
Perhaps on a crowded street?
Oh how I wait for that then.
Will she even look at me?
Or will she just turn her head away?
Guess we'll have to wait and see now, won't we?
Come whatever, come what may.
Steady rain comes, black clouds done fill the sky
Steady rain comes, black clouds done fill the sky
I have a bad, bad feelin'
They'll be with me 'til the day I die
Red sky this mornin', doesn't give much hope at all
Red sky this mornin', doesn't give much hope at all
Guess I won't get another chance
'Til the sun makes up its mind and starts to fall
[chorus]
Steady rain comes, Lord knows it's true
These black clouds above me, just remind me of you
I got a bad, bad feelin' way deep down in my bones
Steady rain comes, reminds me that I'm alone.
Muddy tracks before me, seems I've come this way before
Muddy tracks before me, seems I've come this way before
But I guess I have to follow
All the way, 'til then end, to be sure
Oh this awful rain, has done soaked me to the skin
Oh this awful rain, has done soaked me to the skin
I need the warmth of your fire baby
Is there any way you could let me in?
Sickness now is comin' on me, I gotta fight it off.
With the help of those who love me, I'm gonna make my stand.
Come and get me,
Come and get me, if you can.
Set me down by the water, and let me breathe.
Set me high up on the mountain and let me be.
Leave me there until the night comes,
Comes over me.
[chorus]
Cause I'm in need, of some healin'
Healin' company.
Bathe in the starlight, oh, set us free.
Count the stars in the heavens, and count your days.
Sing the songs of your fathers and feel their pain.
Don't believe what people tell you,
About their chains.
Catch a train up to the night sky, while there's still time.
Leave this world for the next one and shed your fears.
But come back to us quickly,
And dry our tears.
