It's the end of the night
I can hear the river and see the moonlight
As it shines on her hair
But she traded her smile for a stare
And said you ain't going nowhere

I didn't see her hand
Oh, but I can see lightening under her skin
When I spoke of another
And the plans that I had arranged
How the leaves and feelings they change

And she said
Baby I love you can't you see
That I'd give the world to set my heart free
But my hands are tied
When I look in your eyes and see
You're nothing like me
Baby you're cold

She kneeled and she prayed
In the mud for my blood to just float away
And sink in a flow of regret
With the love and the leaves and the blade
And she screamed as I started to fade

Baby I love you can't you see
That I'd give the world to set your heart free
But my hands are tied
When I look in your eyes and see
The death of a dream
Baby you're cold
