lyrics

When I was a young boy I never did know,
All the truth there was in the lesson you taught,
Down at the bottom of the old long garden,
You taught me all about how knives are sharp.

And if you rum them one way you,
Will understand the power that lies inside,
But if you rub them another way,
It'll cut you open to the other side.

So I hold my hands together and I say Oh Lord,
I say Oh Lord have some mercy on me.
I turn to the devil and I say old friend,
I say hey buddy please just leave me be.

And then when I was a little bit older,
Things became a little clearer to me.
I new what had to be done and I could do as I was told,
But all too soon did that road get old.

Because when you've been to the other side,
And found out how green the grass can be,
Don't expect to be able to find your way home,
With your new set of eyes and your new set of teeth.

So I hold my hands together and I say Oh Lord,
I say Oh Lord have some mercy on me.
I turn to the devil and I say old friend,
I say hey buddy please just leave me be.
