well there's smoke from underneath the bed
like her father's eyes touching her instead
and just around ten the lights low
she cuts her hair
she's walking slow i know
she's walking by herself
so go on walk by now
there's nothing left to wait around for this time
go on walk slow now
there's nothing left to wait around for
when you're falling out. falling down
there's a cross that hangs above the gate
are the ties that bind old enough to break
she covers her eyes covers her mouth
north carolina headed south i know
she's walking by herself
and the trees bend down where she goes
and the river gods are waiting down below
and i shut my eyes shut mouth
shut my heart gotta cut it out i know
she's walking by herself
