All the cotton fields are empty
And all the coal mines have shut down
And all you've seen of the lives in between
I'd say you know pain now

Grandee there's no need to worry
You know this world's already dead and buried
And I'm letting go cause I simply can't hold
Any more than I can carry

Your brown eyes they tell me stories
Of lives you've lost and lives you've gained
I'll use them to see when my feet carry me
Through hell and the darkest valley

Grandee there's no need to worry
You know this world's already dead and buried
And I'm letting go cause I simply can't hold
Any more than I can carry

Beauty will die when you leave
I won't have a single soul to soothe me
All angels need a family to lead
Past demons to the land of holy

Grandee there's no need to worry
You know this world's already dead and buried
And I'm letting go cause I simply can't hold
Any more than I can carry
