Nobody wants to let you drown
But I told you, Alabama, I can’t swim
You climbed up into those hills
Following him.

In the cold North Carolina
Left your summers in the pickup
Left your springtime up in Canada
Left your Autumn saying good luck.

You were married in a church under a waterfall
And I wonder, can you see in the Hollywood mist?
A million eyes were watching from the farms in Arkansas
To the suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge.

And your rings were made of China
And your vows were bound in lambskin
And your dress draped over Sodom
And Gomorrah made of porcelain.

From Seville to Manhattan
The good news comes running with the birds
As I set sail upon this great, wide ocean
I’m haunted by notorious words.
 
Is my vengeance real in Gotham?
Why’s the moonlight made of stone?
Will the years all be forgotten?
Is it too late to go home?

Follow me home.
With two eyes like searchlights
Follow me home.

And your rings were made of China
And your vows were bound in lambskin
And your dress draped over Sodom
And Gomorrah made of porcelain.

Is my vengeance real in Gotham?
Why’s the moonlight made of stone?
Will the years all be forgotten?
Is it too late to go home?
