Young boy grows up in South Carolina Wakes on 8 in the morning, this world's got nothin' for ya He goes missing like a blue moon for about an hour Comes back home to an empty house full of silence That grows louder and louder and louder Deep at night heard you breeze through the window And he re-reads and re-writes the letter that he wrote Back and forth voices tell him secrets Do not, do not, do not, yes do But please don't tell momma that this coming for you I miss the way you look so sad when you're falling face first through the air Young boy goes to sleep and wakes up a man Blue moon comes back around but He don't turn back to shake his mother's hand Momma's crying, she's crying out blood Slowly dying She's calling out, when she's calling out, Momma's dying She's crying out blood Slowly, slowly dying She's calling out, when she's calling out I'm singin' I miss the way you look so sad when you're falling face first through the air The sun is setting while the moon is rising The stars alignin' His heart is pounding He can feel it in his feet He can feel it in his throat He can feel it in his hands As he walks up to the edge He doesn't feel life anymore The sea upon the shore 100 feet above the shore He drops the letter that he wrote I miss the way you look so sad when you're falling face first through the air
