Runnin' around wearin' a gown
My love hit the ground
and soon I caught up
Needles and pins, where have I been
My heart says let me back in
but my chest wants to cave in

Oh take please take
oh take these words out of my mouth
Mary Magdalene take this cross off my back now
A ghost of a horse follows me to the end
oh the end of the barn
where my faith's buried deep in the ground

I lay into the piano
with the pedal pushed down
It rings and it pounds
and my heart, oh it sweeps the ground
Oh (violent) violin strings
they break, oh break to the sound
of horse hooves that carried me, oh into this town

Oh take please take
Oh take me please away from this crowd
And I will show you the beauty
of silence and sound
But where oh where is my
'Cause the beauty of my love is unfound

And where oh back in the silence now
Oh I wave the boats away from me now
And I saw the ash

But where have I been
And what did I do
How'd the love end
Now I'm left with my friend Old Blue

Where have I been
And what did I do
How'd the love end
Now I'm left with my friend Old Blue
