She dreamed in red for white
Behind the bedroom door
Next to mine, next to mine
And she'd climb the stairs before I'd rise
And try to fly, to fly
I never raised my voice
Above a whisper to say
You were right, you were right
The hand that slipped into your pocket
It was mine, it was mine
All of the times I tried
Just to save those things
That were mine, that were mine
But I stay crooked while you follow
In the night, in the night
I'm yours, I'm yours
But I didn't mean to leave you with the devil in the dirt
I turned, I turned
And saw you lying sweetly with the love that you deserved
And I'm sure, I'm sure
You can pay your way to heaven with the money that you earned
But you roll, don't roll
I've been saving all my pity for the Sunday night low
And I know, I know
I can pay my way to heaven with the money that I stole
