[Verse 1]
Gravel road
Dead of night
Lantern low
Fog so tight
Saw her stand
By that leaning sign
Bare feet cold
Like the county line
[Chorus]
Lady in white
Why you following me? (mm-hmm)
Hem in the dirt
Eyes like a dried-up sea
You don't blink
You don't speak my name
Lady in white
Do you want my shame?
[Verse 2]
Old church bell
Never rang so slow
Wind said run
But my boots said no
She raised one hand
Pointed at my chest
Like she knew
Every broken promise left
[Chorus]
Lady in white
Why you following me? (hey)
Hem in the dirt
Eyes like a dried-up sea
You don't blink
You don't speak my name
Lady in white
Do you want my shame?
[Bridge]
I left a ring
On a windowsill
Left a heart
On a red dirt hill
Every lie
Got a grave unmarked
Every ghost
Got a home in the dark
[Chorus]
Lady in white
Why you following me?
Hem in the dirt
Eyes like a dried-up sea
Take my sins
Lay them down tonight
Lady in white
Fade me out of the light
[Outro]
Gravel road
Coming up behind
Soft bare feet
Keeping time
I don't turn
I just feel her near
Lady in white
I am yours
My dear
