There are such sights as I would show you.
I asked how I would find your house, down the white chalk road…

She glares at me. The color's in…

But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about…
…do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you…
…what became.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
But you can't hold your man.
You never thought you'd be alone this far

That's why I spat in your face coz you were flashing your papes
You see my mandem are real and you…
…just misunderstood
If I could take it all back, I'd say, "Miss, bun your books"
Coz there ain't nothing you could teach man

COHLE: No.
HART: Well what do you got the cross for in your apartment…

The very day you were born, your light shone bold in the dark
The doctor said you had a hole in your heart…
…are better than one that suffered
Every regret in this life that I made
Have been tempered by the strength in your eyes everyday
I know you…
…this while you slept in a hospital bed
Know this, your breath at the cost of my breath
I'd forego this life, let you honour my death
If you…

Were ignorant now of the path this would…

Suspicions were growing, it wouldn't be long
