Lo

Lo - O'Brother

Lo my eager eyes will know the truth come the day when it's pouring from

My lifeless mouth

Lo my eager eyes may swear to

You that I never meant to shut you out

So we could laugh and sit and talk until I wanted to see

What sort of knowledge had grown from your forbidden seed

All I wanted was a single thought in my head that was mine

I tried to change what I'd done you still decided to leave us here

To crook the spines of these wretched bodies

Your garden reminds us of our fleeting lives

Lo my eager eyes will know the truth come the day when it's pouring from

My lifeless mouth

Lo my eager eyes may swear to

You that I never meant to shut you out

So why did you leave here why did you leave here

My head is but an image of you

So why did you leave here why did you leave me

To figure this all out

So I found my side in the absence of a point of view

Cause our senseless minds couldn't hope to know

Now I take what's mine from the ground that I cultivate

And my mouth runs wild cause I want it all

Lo my eager eyes will know the truth come the day when it's pouring from

My lifeless mouth

Lo my eager eyes may swear to

You that I never meant to shut you out
