lyrics

I took a turn for the worse once the weather broke
Too many hard nights too long alone
My ship sailed before I could board,
I found my spot neath a grove of pines in the undergrowth
I dreamt all night about a snake oil man, he’s been hunting these parts, I can feel his gate shape the wind
I can hear him call, calling out my name
I got bit, There’s poison in my vein!”

I’m marking this place with with a memory and a curse, with the parts of me is that will never leave the earth
I’m following the call. Can’t you hear it ring?
I'm leaving it all behind, these dead man’s things

Thinking about a girl I left along the way, in the chill of winter, one of those east coast states
She left her locket with a picture in my sack
Her love for me gone, and it ain’t coming back

I roll a smoke, I'm looking for nothing, waiting on the wind to carry my mind away
Waiting for my cuts to bleed, waiting for my legs to break, someone else will pick up my path and go a long time after me

I’m marking this place with with a memory and a curse, with the parts of me is that will never leave the earth
I’m following the call. Can’t you hear it ring?
I'm leaving it all behind, these dead man’s things
