Nightshade

(album: Blue Earth - 1989)

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
