Avett Brothers, The - The Lowering (A Sad Day In Greenvilletown) lyrics

rate me

If I had known, your heart was down That lonely day in Greenville town Then I would have been more concerned But later on I truly learned How it can feel in every bone To really see you're all alone But I'll kiss your head When death finds your bed And you are gone And if I had seen, the way it would be I'd hushed your cries, when you came to me If I could do what I did to you The same to me that I would love for you to see That I sleep with remorse And regret hangs round my door... For ever more. If I had known the lowering tide Was lowering with the way you felt inside If I had known all hope was gone A broken heart and a broken home That pierced, my lover's past And carved a lonely path... For her to walk So if ever someone one says to you, Life isn't fair, get used to it Then you should say 'Well it might be If folks like you would let it be" But I'll kiss your head When death becomes my bed And I am gone
