Indigo Girls Lyrics

"On Your Honor" lyrics


Words and music BY Amy Ray 

Now I have a picture
Fist in the air
I'm standing behind you
Now I am still here 

Mining your body
The scene of a crime
Did they do you one more favor
Killing your blood line 

Yeah
Well I'm here to relieve
The ones that fought for you
And fought for me 

Yeah
I want to relate
Put away your hate
Put away your hate 

Breath of the nightjar
Stars in the sky
A killer for comfort
I'm not gonna lie to you 

Paid off the piper
With a government gun
Whoever you came for
Left all alone 

Yeah
Well I'm here to relieve
The ones that fought for you
And fought for me 

Yeah
I want to relate
Now put away your hate
Put away your hate 

Our father's house is a house of regret
Rooms I can't sleep in
Jokes I don't get 

You're on your honor to be on my side I said
Surely there are some things that won't be denied 

Yeah
But I'm here to relieve
The ones that fought for you
And fought for me 

I said yeah
I want to relate
Now put away your hate
Put away your hate 

I said yeah
I'm here to relieve
The ones that fought for you
And fought for me 

I said yeah
I want to relate
Put away your hate
Put away your hate
