lyrics

I know the hue your lips have shown
red to blue / white as snow
come a little high / come a little low
come by anytime with your tall shadow

creaking of the floorboards know
to wake me right / before you go
come a little high / leave a little low
to where the weather / suits your clothes

it’s alright, you say / it’s alright, okay
it’s alright that way / down you go
up in smoke and flame

I did not heed the words you told me
I will not be in love and lonely
I’ve been down, now I’m only
waiting to be treated kindly

owl in the tree calling hoo hoo
only me and a top hat, too
twirling a cane, laughing at the moon
the night don't frighten like you do

don't come around here / shoo fly, shoo
I'm all patched up / like brand-new
a knock at the door can't be a blue
bird come back / home to roost

it’s alright, you say / it’s alright, okay
it’s alright that way / call it a life
call it another day

in the past / I saw you solely
the light you cast / bright and holy
I've been down / lower than the
grass to the ground
come treat me friendly

say what you may / but don't come again
and do what you do / what you do is a sin
so say what you may / but you must understand
when you do what you / the light don't get in

come another morning / moon and sun
both lock eyes and / hold on
burn for the night / burn for the dawn
burn let it be the brighter one
I hope I'm right / I need a win
let that light come shinin' in
stay for the day, sun / say you will
the night don't frighten / it just kills

it’s alright, you say / it’s alright, okay
it’s alright that someday / upon the water
one will walk my way

and I will go down to Manassas
I'll find my friend / fill our glasses
forget the cold / slow way time passes
eat some corn and sweet molasses
