O'Brother - Lo (Alternate Version) lyrics

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 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
