  • And hate runs through my blood
    Well my tongue was in love
    But my heart was left above
    I've got to be leaving now
    I thought I'd never be shot down
    But girl I'm black and blue
    So beaten down for you
    Well I'm beaten down in bloom

    Don't break away
    I waste away
    Don't break away

    And lay me out across the grey
    Hours I should have kept at bay
    Well I had no chance to get away
    I can't escape my own escape
    Even more when it's sweet to the taste
    Red stairs lead sense astray
    I look up and seek for faith
    Oh but girl just lean over and say
    Well lay me down
    Oh, ah, pull me out
    Well take my crown again
    He's submerged in doubt

    But wait, I make my last request
    See this could be the best
    But blue I need to rest
    See I've been broken down
    So much has lost it now
    I just stop and say
    Girl, oh don't you worry 'bout a thing
