The Jayhawks — Nightshade lyrics

Lyrics

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?
Found her 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
