Rain falls, falls down
From the sky like tears
From the eyes of those who've stared too long
At the Sun, and it's clear
The deaf, the dumb
And the blind feel more
Not the soul we try to satisfy
But the rest we ignore

Beguiled in spirit, many years
I squandered, now I surrender
Tears that beckon as the storm begins to blow
Each night begins and darkness yawns
I lie there, holding back the dawn

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces
Hell or high water, don't let me down (no)
Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces
Hell or high water, I don't want to drown

Dark sky, dark Moon
Dark comes too soon
And the closer you get to locking up that
Door, in the room
She sits by that door (she sits)
He spits on that floor (he spits)
And the nameless spend another night with
The creeper in that tomb

Oak leaves falling, another year
On stones in the river, then they disappear
This guilty soul's the last to know
The boy in blue is long and low
And wandering, wandering back to you, oh

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces
Hell or high water, don't let me down
Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces
Hell or high water, I don't want to drown

Do you know me, did you love me
I don't think I know myself
If you knew me, you could love me
Again, yeah
There's blood on my hands, I'm like a dead man
The fool's paradise I don't talk about anymore
This thing called war, this thing called war
Will things ever be like they were before

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces
Hell or high water, don't let me down (no)
Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces
Hell or high water, I don't want to drown

Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces
Hell or high water, don't let me down
Hell or high water, I come to you in pieces
Hell or high water, I don't want to drown (I don't want to drown)

Hell or high water
