"Riding The Nightingale" lyrics

Dying mama
Barely breathing in a bed of nails
To wander through the ruin smoking and pale
I came upon an angel and a nightingale
Hanging where the darkness comes
Between the earth and skies above
Dead weight are my body's bones
I think I dug too deep a hole
Think I dug too deep a hole
Better run for cover, babe, you better hide
Don't do no good to wait 'til time decides
Time decides
Time
Time
I need a little more time

Riding on my nightingale
So many years too, too high
Riding on my nightingale
Around my heart

Climbing down the stairs
The last step wouldn't touch me right
Well, you're too proud and I'm too spare
And I'm neither here nor there
It's only fear
Who'll open up the doors and let me breathe night air?
Better run for cover, babe, you better hide
It just don't do to wait 'til time decides
Time decides
Time
Time
I need a little more time

Mama I'm gonna cry now
Cry, I'm gonna cry now
Oh you're making me cry now
Cry, I'm gonna cry now
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
I'm gonna cry
Cry
God knows I'm crying

Better run for cover, babe, you'd better hide
Just don't to wait 'til time decides

Darling, I ride my nightingale
So many years too, too hide
Flying my nightingale
Around my heart

Who's riding on my nightingale?
Who's riding on my nightingale?
Who's riding on my nightingale?
Who's riding on my nightingale?
Who's riding on my nightingale?
Who's riding on my nightingale?
I swear it's gonna bleed
