I can't hold out here much longer
Over you, over me, roll that load over me
I can't hold out here much longer
The storm won't ever 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
Raise that lantern, keep it bright
Hold it close, so I can see
Sleep in tears by yourself tonight
Roll that load over me
Over you, over me, roll that load over me...
