Dyin' mama barely breathin' in a bed of nails To wander through the ruin smokin' and pale Came upon an angel and a nightingale Back where the darkness comes Between the earth and skies above Dead weight on my body's bones I think I dug too deep a hole Think I dug too deep a hole Better run for cover babe you better hide Don't do no good to wait til time decides Time decides Time Time I need a little more time Riding on my nightingale So many years to, to ride Hiding on my nightingale, around my heart Climbing down the stairs at last I wouldn't touch me right You're too proud and I'm too scared And I'm neither here nor there It's only fear Well open up the doors And let me breathe that air Better run for cover babe you better hide Just don't do to wait til time decides Time decides Time Time I need a little more time Mama I'm gonna cry now Cry, I'm gonna cry now Oh you're makin' me cry now Cry, I'm gonna cry now Oh, no, no, no, no, no I'm gonna cry Cry I'm gonna die cryin' Better run for cover babe you'd better hide Just don't to wait til time decides Tied around my nightingale So many years to, to hide Fly my nightingale Around my heart Who's riding on my nightingale (7x's)
