The Early November – The Lilac lyrics
[Verse 1]
Left here for the road and came on back
You say, "Come with me baby, we'll be alright"
Follow through a field with old lilac
You say, "Lay with me, baby, I’ll be your bed and back"

[Chorus]
The needle in my hand is coming down
Drilling through my chest, but it's oil they found
Washing over me, then drying out
Hoping for a heart, but it's coal that they found

[Verse 2]
Holding out your hand, I seem to fall
You say, "Come with me baby, I’ll take you home"
Heavy through my breath, you're holding on
You say, "Don't worry, baby, I won't let go"

[Chorus]
The needle in my hand is coming down
Drilling through my chest, but it's oil they found
Washing over me, then drying out
Hoping for a heart, but it's coal that they found

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-ho-ho
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ho
Oh, oh-ho

[Outro]
You dropped me for a cold and bitter hand
If I just had you, baby, I'd be alright
