[Verse 1]
Call this all my awful luck
Skies, they opened wide for us
Oh, what a heavy rain it was
That covered all of you
The wind has changed, my boy
I never knew a voice like yours
But I know just what good it was
That lie you hold on to

[Chorus]
But to call those shadows coming after you
Go on, go on, I couldn't bear to lose
Go on, go on, I couldn't stand to
They begged you for your awful words
So let them know the burden of your blues

[Verse 2]
Could have been the one you loved
The visions of the things I'd done
I wouldn't be the only one
If you'd only told the truth
While they chased you down that night
I was pulling feathers from your lies
I swear I saw it in your eyes
You never told it true
[Chorus]
But to call those shadows coming after you
Go on, go on, I couldn't beg at you
Go on, go on, I couldn't stand to lose
They begged you for your awful words
Now let them know the burden of your blues

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Oh, to call those shadows coming after you
Go on, go on, I couldn't beg at you
Go on, go on, I couldn't stand to lose
They begged you for your awful words
Now let them know the burden of your blues
