Stabbed In the Heart - Jim White

Upon awakening I find myself

Lying in some woods

And for the longest time I’ve sat here

Just trying to remember why

I feel like I am floating

Why blood is running down my shirt

Then my memory returns to me

As the pain comes flooding;

Into my heart

My baby she stabbed me in my heart

Left me here to die

My baby she stabbed me in my heart

And I know why

I hear the sound of distant footsteps

And I know that she is running

From that past which will pursue her

Until the day that she dies

'Cause I know about her family

And their crimes upon her body

So I guess it wasn’t me at all

That she was trying to kill

When she drove that knife

Into my heart

My baby she stabbed me in my heart

Left me here to die

My baby she stabbed me in my heart

Really came as no surprise

Over the hill there is a highway

Now I hear a truck is stopping

She’s flagged somebody down

And asked 'em for a ride

And I would try to follow her

But I don’t seem to be able

To lift this heavy body anymore

As the light fails

And the darkness falls

Into my heart

My baby she stabbed me in my heart

Left me here to die

My baby she stabbed me in my heart

So now I’ll just, I’ll just close my eyes

Close my eyes as the darkness falls

Into my heart

My baby she stabbed me in my heart

Into my heart

I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling
