In My Sheets

Walking through the lonesome river valley

Where my mother said that I would be

Wondering what kind of man I will be

Maybe like my father back when he was young

So will you carry me to the delta where the water will touch my skin?

And the oxygen will keep me alive

Will you take me there, my lover?

I don't think I'll make it out

Of the hell I created in my mind

Maybe somewhere like Virginia, love

Maybe somewhere like Virginia, babe

Maybe one day I'll be all alone in my sheets

But when I wake, I pray that I see you

I see you

One more time

My bloodshot eyes are blinding me

Oh, they're only masking the feelings inside of me

Boy, on the river I see you in front of me, oh yeah

Oh, it's never enough to fill my needs

So will you carry me home, my dear?

Where I first felt love and fear

Where I smoked a cigarette, you coughed a lung

Will you take me there, my lover?

I don't think I'll make it out

Of the hell I created in my mind

Maybe somewhere like Ohio, love

Maybe somewhere like Ohio, babe

And I

I need, some time

To breathe

To escape my head

Oh, and the photos

They hang

On my wall now, baby

And I can't take them down

'Cause they're all I have now

Maybe one day I'll be all alone in my sheets

When I wake, I pray that I see you

One more time

And I been trying, I been crying

I been dying just to see you

One more time

And I, I, I

No, no, no, woah
