Artist/Band: The Avett Brothers
Lyrics for Song: The Lowering - A Sad Day in Greenvilletown
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Avett Brothers



If I had known, your heart was down

That lonely day in Greenville town

Then I would have been more concerned

But later on I truly learned

How it can feel in every bone

To really see you're all alone



But I'll kiss your head

When death finds your bed

And you are gone



And if I had seen, the way it would be

I'd hushed your cries, when you came to me

If I could do what I did to you

The same to me that I would love for you to see

That I sleep with remorse

And regret hangs round my door...

For ever more.



If I had known the lowering tide

Was lowering with the way you felt inside

If I had known all hope was gone

A broken heart and a broken home

That pierced, my lover's past

And carved a lonely path...

For her to walk



So if ever someone one says to you,

Life isn't fair, get used to it

Then you should say 'Well it might be

If folks like you would let it be"



But I'll kiss your head

When death becomes my bed

And I am gone
