Nightshade - The Jayhawks

What a fool I’ve been

Left you all alone, and you’re so young

I’m back with the blind man

He cannot see what hands get into when I’m away

When I’m away

There’s a little nightshade

In my baby’s hands

I prayed for miles

He’d watch her live

Got to tell somebody

The neighbors live five miles down the road

Life would have no meaning

If I can’t walk beside you, should I take the same path

That you chose?

There’s a little nightshade

In my baby’s hands

I prayed for miles

He’d watch her live

Should I tell you how?

Founded by the garden unafraid

Her little hands were playing

By taking leave now she’s lost to me

My spirit trembles so

There’s a little nightshade

In my baby’s hands

I prayed for miles

He’d watch her live
