The Jayhawks

Dying On The Vine

Dear one, I had enough

Killjoy lurking in the shadows

I been sick and tired playing out my day in a dream

Hurry up, hurry up it's late

I'm dying in the shadow

I'm just a little baby boy in your arms

So you

You know who you are

Thought I saw you in the rearview mirrour looking down

Took the dive Friday night

Had a pretty good alibi

Gasoline it hid the deed, not taking it for granted

Hurry up, hurry up it's late

I'm tongue-tied and getting someting

(2x)

Babe

Scared of you

Scared of you

Headed down to Kingsfield

With the key in my hand

Took a swim down at Hidden Beach

You and me in the sand

Hurry up, hurry up it's late

I'm dying dying in the shadow

I'm just a little baby boy

But now I'm getting something

Dear one

I've had enough

Raise the flag, I'm giving up

I'm just sick and tired living out my day in a dream

I want to be the first to say it

Black or white but never gray

I don't feel like me today

I'm dying in the shadow

Hurry up, hurry up it's late

But now I'm getting somewhere

Babe

Scared of you
