Two children playing on a dusty road
Barefoot running in the yard
Hide from the fire of the summer sun
In the shade of the old Bois d'arc
Days when we first held hands
Days of the locust's call
Until the children's games
Came to an end
Until they tore us apart
Why can't they leave us alone
Why can't they see things our way
We ain't done nothing wrong
Give me one last kiss
Every night I have
The very same dream
I hear the lonesome whistle blow
I always wake up
When I hear the scream
Somebody that I used to know
Why can't they leave us alone
Why can't they see things our way
We ain't done nothing wrong
Give me one last kiss
Give me one last kiss
Before the darkness comes
Well the rain is falling harder
Than a bullet
And the Hound dog barking
Getting closer all the time
Footprints fresh
On the bank of the bayou
Lightning flashing make the water shine
Water's cold and the current is pulling
I'm swimming in the middle
Of a pitch black stream
My body's getting tired
And my spirit's getting weaker
Somewhere in the distance
I can hear the scream
Why don't they leave us alone
Why can't they see things our way
We ain't done nothing wrong
Give me one last kiss
Why don't they leave us alone
Why can't they see things our way
We ain't done nothing wrong
Give me one last kiss
Give me one last kiss
Give me one last kiss
Before the darkness comes
Before the darkness comes
Before the darkness comes
