Nightshade

What a fool I've been 
Left you all alone, and you're so young 
I'm back with the blind man 
He cannot see what hands get into when I'm away 
When I'm away 

There's a little nightshade 
In my baby's hands 
I prayed for miles 
He'd watch her live 

Got to tell somebody 
The neighbors live five miles down the road 
Life would have no meaning 
If I can't walk beside you, should I take the same path 
That you chose? 

There's a little nightshade 
In my baby's hands 
I prayed for miles 
He'd watch her live 

Should I tell you how? 
Founded by the garden unafraid 
Her little hands were playing 
By taking leave now she's lost to me 
My spirit trembles so 

There's a little nightshade 
In my baby's hands 
I prayed for miles 
He'd watch her live
