lyrics

Sometimes gifts they come out in the night
When home lies around you and your spirit takes flight
All these words and a lonesome melody
Hollow stones and miracles can be

You’re a dark dark sider
Only the moon has grown wiser
And you carry me back to your room
I will go where the wind blows
Lost my footing on a back road
Lay me down all flesh and bones

In this big wild world I catch a cry
That draws me in and pulls me to the light
Though I try not to hear or see
The pulse, the thread—won’t let me be (Its takes hold deep and won’t let me be)

You’re a dark dark sider
Only the moon has grown wiser
And you carry me back to your room
I will go where the wind blows
Lost my footing on a back road
Lay me down all flesh and bones

When night ends and meets the day
And the wounds of life fade and decay
Take me out let me feel the sun’s fire
Let me dance, moan and shake—take me higher

And you’re a dark dark sider
Only the moon has grown wiser
And you carry me back to your room
I will go where the wind blows
Lost my footing on a back road
Lay me down all flesh and bones

Hollow minds and hollow hearts/Oh lay me down
Hollow minds and hollow hearts/Oh lay me down
Hollow minds and hollow hearts/Oh lay me down
Hollow minds and hollow hearts/Oh lay me down
