Black Cat Bone

Must have been the devil who changed my mind Must have been the wind blowing not me crying Half the joy of leaving was the space I left behind Now I'm back, angel headed holloweyed Placed myself at the eye of the storm Just didn't see the signpost to scorn The blue sky wrinkled through my tears Then darkness grounded all my fears I gave him my sugar, he switched it for salt Should have seen him coming that's always my fault Rocks for my pillow and sand for my bed For better or worse I left him for dead But two rivers to each other run Words that shook me like the kick of a gun Had something in my heart ain't got no name Turned out he felt the same Ain't it lonesome, ain't it sad I was the only happiness he ever had By Indian River the vows were said In a red devil's dress I was wed Bit*h's baby round lady Came to me in a dream Then lightning struck and thunder roared And nothing was as it seemed A two-headed doctor walked on the water And buried a lemon outside my door He turned and laughed, threw up his hands When I asked him what it was for He sang 'ships in the ocean rocks in the sea, Blond-headed woman made a fool outta me' Then everything went crazy My shoes filled with blood The water rose the wind did howl The river looked ready to flood I left my man asleep to drown And ran without looking back around Ring the bells of mercy Send the sinnerman home The keys to the kingdom are lost and gone And I'm left to die alone All these girls grown old now All that long hair in the grave Realize what's done is done It's far too late to be saved
