Reuben and the Dark - Marionette Lyrics

Well I know my sins and sorrows
But I will tend my wounds tomorrow
Oh, I know my sins and sorrows

I said Lord, don't take my body
Oh, cause I never hurt nobody
Oh, I said Lord don't you take my body

No you don't know my brother he's a broken bone
A kicking horse on a crooked road
Don't mind my brother he's a marionette
With a sinking stone when he's holding his breath

I said Lord, don't have mercy on me
I'm looking for a light in the darkest of streets
I said Lord, don't you have mercy on me
I'm looking for a light in the darkest of streets

Oh, rivers and roads
Widow and winding
I left my body
But I didn't leave my mind

Oh, rivers and roads
Widow and wide
I left my body
But I didn't leave my mind

Oh whoa, Denied
Oh whoa, Denied, whoa

I saw the sign
It was hung from the sky
Right here above the water
But they didn't seem to mind

Oh, I'll cut you down
For I know you are weak
And will those who love you
Love you when you're free?

Oh, I saw the sign
It was hung from the sky
Right here above the water
But they didn't seem to mind

Oh, and I'll cut you down
For I know you are weak
And will those who love you
Love you when you're free?
