So Help Me

With no one to love

Some doorsteps in abandon

Where all have left you broken

You lonesome and you lose some

But what you lost was already gone

Going forth in blindness

Going first and last, please

Your purse out for a green glass

A gum road will bite your hand when you're just passing

Oh yeah, and bite the hand that needs

So help me

I'm gonna go to the water and throw myself in

So help me

I'm gonna dig me a hole and lay myself down

So help me

I'm gonna wait on the train with a rope and tie myself down

So help me, God

So help me, please

Dreams drummed into your head

They beat like an agenda

The sound just leaves you hollow

Like a room in a house in a dream I had

Lord knows I had a dream

So help me

I'm gonna go to the water and throw myself in

So help me

I'm gonna dig me a hole and lay myself down

So help me

I'm gonna wait on the train with a rope and tie myself down

So help me, God

So help me, please

So help me, God

So help me, please

Leaves that fly on old wind

Knotted to a dead tree

That lived through time and stood when

When people died of a broken heart

Oh yes, people could die of a broken heart

So help me

I'm gonna go to the water and throw myself in

So help me

I'm gonna dig me a hole and lay myself down

So help me

I'm gonna wait on the train with a rope and tie myself down

So help me, God

So help me, please

So help me, God

So help me, please

So help me, God

So help me, please

So help me, God

Something 'bout help me, please
