Lyrics

V1 - Boots filled with lead,
Blindfold round my head,
Kind sir won’t you lead me round,
This roaring rivers edge.
Feel the ground give way,
Feel my soul shake,
One last shallow breath,
Before this watery grave
V2 - No sir I didn’t know she’s your wife,
Didn’t see no ring,
And that sure as hell ain’t my knife,
Just a breath away from your spine,
But from behind these blindfold eyes,
I can see crossed lines,
And just in time,
As that ground gives way
C - All that I could’ve been,
And all that she could’ve meant,
Swirling around my head,
These grains of sand,
They’re running through my hands,
And by god,
By god, I’d do it all again
V3 - They say dead men tell no tales,
Well I’ve got one,
It ain’t always the lawman’s gun,
That’s a cold and breathless blue,
The night her eyes, they danced with mine,
And fire it raged inside,
She wrapped me up,
Now I’m drowning for my crimes
C - All that I could’ve been,
And all that she could’ve meant,
Swirling around my head,
These grains of sand,
They’re running through my hands,
And by god,
By god, I’d do it all again
