Float downstream, you'll find me on an island concealed in the woods.
Sleeping in the trees, waiting in a boat brought in by the flood.
Out here, I've only got two methods of protection.
Gotta take advantage any way I can.
There are fierce powers at work.
When I was ten, I got bit. Rushed to the clinic,
The doctor said I should have been dead in twenty minutes.
When I came to, the whole world split and came together new.
I knew right there I would do anything for you.
You are a dream I don't want to wake up from.
Nightingales tattooed on your hands for good luck.
I've got a snake wrapped around my arm to serve as a reminder.
I can't get caught. I can't get bit again or I'll die.
When my messenger arrived, that bastard's brother gave him a black eye.
You said you'd wait. Just a couple days.
"Hold tight"
Five o'clock, you knew the plan but you didn't show up at the side of the motel.
The boys tracked you down at a bar off of 61.
You make mistakes and you don't care about no one but yourself.
Bed down with the worst, and you come running back for protection.
You know damn well that I've killed for you.
You're the reason for this trouble I'm in.
The only chance I have is to set you loose.
I gave up on you. You gave up on me.
"Moving into town." You made me a thief.
Bonfires, crosses, and a wolf's eye.
"Why would I call you back?"
They were all lies.
Enjoy this river while you can, before they tear this place apart board by board.
I have let you down.
A man and wife are supposed to love each other.
I don't know about that anymore.
(A man is supposed to be in charge of his own affairs.
He sold her a pack of lies, dropped her down a flight of stairs.
I've got the anti-venom, I will die or sweat it out.
If it was up to me, I'd run his whole family down.
I try to never sleep in the same spot twice.
Marriage just don't work, can't keep running our whole lives.
She's led me across the country, there's a bottle in her hand.
Looking out for herself, I'm throwing my fists into the sand.)
She may say that I'm a born liar,
Well I don't traffic in the truth too often, but I do love her.
Dodging shotgun fire and bounty hunters,
I say my goodbye, and dive below the water.
Sink and hide before I start over,
Emerge just in time to see the river meet the ocean.
