"Bleeding White" lyrics - THE AVETT BROTHERS

THE AVETT BROTHERS
"Bleeding White"

I'm bleeding white from my clothes
But I'm lying in the snow
So nobody knows I'm dying
If I stand on my feet
Will the plan be complete
Or is the plan me not trying?

[Chorus:]
I left you behind
But you can find me if I don't wander too far away

Perhaps in another life, I would be more like you
Or you more like me, let's just disagree
Don't say you know my type, I'm one of a kind
Let's thank god for merciful variety

[Chorus:]
I left you behind
But you can find me if I don't wander too far away

[Bridge:]
It's too far along to feign ignorance
Too far along to play it down
And you're far too smart to fall for
The part that I've been playing

Yeah, I'm bleeding gold in the streets
But there's no one to see
Because the kingdom is empty
They all left in the night
Spirits broken in spite
Of all the promise of morning

[Chorus:]
Y'all left me behind, but I can find you
If you don't wander too far away
Yeah, if you don't wander too far away
Yeah, if you don't wander too far away
Oh, if you don't wander too far away
Yeah, if you don't wander too far away
