lyrics

Sharp, burning sun on my neck
Bleach my bones with fire and sweat
Dry, Scorched wind which I’ve become akin
Steals the sweat from my skin

Black, earthen birds circle the sky
Perpetually
Over a dry, forgotten man half buried in sand
Buried from memory

Well gather round friend and foe
Listen before you go
Listen to what I say

Look at this broken fool
Desire made him a slave
Now his bones are cast away

He said, “Give me a dollar
Give me some smokes
I’ll get my kicks tonight I hope
Then I’ll be on my way.”

He said, “I have no god,
I have no soul,
We’re all walking down the long black road
And I’ll make my own damn way”

Like shattered jars scattered in the sand
Are the plans of a man
The broken shards made whole once again
By the Lord’s hand

Tall, crooked trees
With shadows longer than me
Drink from this cracked clay
Amongst them lies the bones
Of the man
Who went his own way

Well gather round friend and foe
Listen before you go
Listen to what I say

Look at this broken fool
Desire made him a slave
Now his bones are cast away

He said, “Give me a dollar
Give me some smokes
I’ll get my kicks tonight I hope
Then I’ll be on my way.”

He said, “I have no god,
I have no soul,
We’re all walking down the long black road
And I’ll make my own damn way”

Like shattered jars scattered in the sand
Are the plans of a man
The broken shards made whole once again
By the Lord’s hand

Like shattered jars scattered in the sand
Are the plans of a man
The broken shards made whole once again
