'til i'm blue

When they put me in the ground, I went out to be there waiting
With your hands just as cold as mine, we could rest for a while
Would you follow me to heaven? Would you follow me to hell?
Would you leave this world for me & a wooden coat?

Where we be, we've come so far
Where did I go astray from you?
I think I'll just hold my breathe 'til I'm blue

When there's no one else around, we could be together
With my hands in your pockets I'm reading your diary
We won't make a sound as long as they won't let us
Maybe the truth will illuminate the way to be, the way to be

When I know something's gone wrong I look to the crowd
& I see faces guiding me back home. Faces, telling me…
Where to go

We've come so far
