Rain falls, falls down From the sky like tears From the eyes of those who've stared too long At the Sun, and it's clear The deaf, the dumb And the blind feel more Not the soul we try to satisfy But the rest we ignore Beguiled in spirit, many years I squandered, now I surrender Tears that beckon as the storm begins to blow Each night begins and darkness yawns I lie there, holding back the dawn Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces Hell or high water, don't let me down (no) Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces Hell or high water, I don't want to drown Dark sky, dark Moon Dark comes too soon And the closer you get to locking up that Door, in the room She sits by that door (she sits) He spits on that floor (he spits) And the nameless spend another night with The creeper in that tomb Oak leaves falling, another year On stones in the river, then they disappear This guilty soul's the last to know The boy in blue is long and low And wandering, wandering back to you, oh Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces Hell or high water, don't let me down Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces Hell or high water, I don't want to drown Do you know me, did you love me I don't think I know myself If you knew me, you could love me Again, yeah There's blood on my hands, I'm like a dead man The fool's paradise I don't talk about anymore This thing called war, this thing called war Will things ever be like they were before Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces Hell or high water, don't let me down (no) Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces Hell or high water, I don't want to drown Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces Hell or high water, don't let me down Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces Hell or high water, I don't want to drown (I don't want to drown) Hell or high water
