[Vocal intro]
Once I was friends with the Devil
He kept me quiet company
And when he left the noise in my head
Came back
Once I was friends with the Devil
It seemed he really liked me
But when I sang out, he drowned out the sound
Oh, won’t you bring me some peace?
[Chorus]
I dreaded the Devil
He won’t leave me alone
He won’t leave me be, let me breathe easily
Oh, won’t you leave me in peace?
Once I was friends with the Devil
He kept me quiet company
And when he left the noise in my head
Came back
But then I dreaded the Devil
Wanted no more by my side
Seemed the Devil and me, after all that I’d seen
Had said our final goodbyes
[Chorus]
I dreaded the Devil
He won’t leave me alone
He won’t leave me be, let me breathe easily
Oh, won’t you leave me in peace?
(Leave me in peace)
[bridge]
Wind runs through the trees, I feel ill at ease
Wind runs through the trees, are you calling to me?
Wind runs through the trees, I feel ill at ease
Wind runs through the trees, are you calling to me?
[Chorus]
I dreaded the Devil
He won’t leave me alone
I dreaded the Devil
He won’t leave me alone
He won’t leave me be, let me breathe easily
Oh, won’t you leave me in peace?
(Leave me in peace)
