The Jayhawks
Nightshade
[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
There's a little nightshade
In my baby's hands
I prayed for miles
He'd watch her live
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Should I tell you how?
Found her by the garden unafraid
Her little hands were playing
By taking leave now, she's lost to me
My spirit trembles so

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

[Guitar Solo]
