I can't hold out here much longer
this storm will never break, those lights won't ever shine
I've been nailed up, shown no mercy
there's a curse upon this land honey, I'm dyin' on the vine
raise that lantern, keep it bright
hold it close so I can see
sleep in tears by yourself tonight
roll that load over me
I've been sold out, held to ransom
thrown into the wind, so I know which way it blows
I've been locked out, shown no pity
in a faithless town you're gonna reap what you sow
over you, over me, roll that load over me
