Darling,
will you run away with me?
Take my hand now, but hold your breath.
For if I'm followed, I'll never more be free.
Oh, what have I done if I was the bad guy?
Would you love me less?
Looking over my shoulder,
there's trouble in town.
Undone in shadows, a crime of flesh.
Cops and robbers gonna chase me down.
Late
last evening to me, my sister ran
with a weight of darkness upon her breast.
And it tells the story of her husband's hand.
She reads it all alone.
If I was the bad guy, would you love me less?
So I followed her husband down into the glade.
And I drew my dagger across his chest.
And the wound I dug as deeply as his grave.
How black his blood did flow.
If I was the bad guy, would you love me less?
Unknown death by his first name.
Tears out my mind, but I won't repent.
For sisters know our hearts are but the same.
They break in green as one.
If I was the bad guy, would you love me less?
So darling, will you run away with me?
Take my hand now, I'll hold my breath.
For if you follow, we'll evermore be free.
You know what I've done.
Baby, I'm the bad guy.
Do you love me less?
Baby,
I'm the bad guy.
Do you love me less?
