If you love me, please tell me I've gotta feel that word between us If you need me, don't sell me If I see the black dog it's gonna kill me And in the morning when you rise Bruised blue throwing ashes on the water It's a strange, sweet kind of light To be lost out in the darkness of the border I've been waiting for you patiently I'm trying to be hopeful for you, brother Hey there, hangman: Wait for me Can you give my number to another? And in the morning when you rise Bruised blue throwing ashes on the water It's a strange, sweet kind of light To be lost out in the darkness of the border If you carry the good news, show me I've been looking for a sign down among us When the poets called for gasoline I knew my days in the kingdom were numbered And in the morning when you rise Bruised blue throwing ashes on the water It's a strange, sweet kind of light To be lost out in the darkness of the border
