Runnin' around wearin' a gown
My love hit the groun, and soon I caught up.
Needles and pins, where have I been
My heart says let me back in, 
but my chest wants to cave in
Oh take please take 
oh take these words out of my mouth
Mary Magdalene take this cross off my back now
A ghost of a horse follows me to the end,
oh the end of the barn 
where my faith's buried deep in the ground
I lay into the piano 
with the pedal pushed down
It rings and it pounds 
and my heart, oh it sweeps the ground
Oh (violent) violin strings 
they break, oh break to the sound
of horse bones that carried me, oh into this town
Oh take please take
Oh take me please away from this crowd
And I will show you the beauty 
of silence and sound
But where oh where is my deep barking hound?
'Cause the beauty of my love is unfound.
And where oh back in the silence now
Oh I wave the boats away from me now
And I saw the ash pour off the bow.
But where have I been
And what did I do?
I let love in
Now I'm left with my friend Old Blue
But where have I been
And what did I do?
I let love in
Now I'm left with my friend Old Blue.
