dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season how long do I take it can I start to change it you know it's been a long long time can I grow a new skin can I try to begin again dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season I am always waking I am always shaking I think I know this might not end can I dry the cold sweat get out of this mess again dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season ease into a new box shoulder a new lot it's gonna be a long long time a whirlwind among breezes doing what he pleases again dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season

It's gonna swallow me whole
The ground'll open up and in i'll fall
Down down down

Mama set me up with a fine young thing
And he was gonna buy me everything
But he grabbed the hook and took out for deep water
And pretty soon that fish - he pulled me in

It's gonna follow me home
Somewhere in the shadows there's a place for me
In the cold cold ground

Trouble's right behind me there's hard times ahead
The devil's got his hammer he's poundin' on my bed
Lost most my money i'm on my last hand
I'm knockin' at hell's door with no weapon and no plan
Feelin' kinda timid like an egg without a shell
But if i've been just bluffing i ain't gonna tell

It's gonna swallow me whole
The ground'll open up and in i'll fall

Papa set me up with a sharp-eyed boy
And i was gonna have him for my toy
But he stole my heart and took out for deep water
And pretty soon that shark - he pulled me in

Sky's full of lightning the wind's spitting sand
Sun burning oh so hot it gave the earth a tan
The fish have all stopped jumping the bedbugs are asleep
I'll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to keep
I wish i had a needle as fine as i could sew
I'd stitch my baby to my side and down the road we'd go

My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down

Little fishes in the brook
Papa catch them with a hook
Brother clean it like a man
Mama fry it in the pan
