A Grave Is a Grim Horse

You cut your eye teeth on stone Your feet stood from in the storm Your life is survived by your deeds We will remember and honor your name A grave is a grim horse... Tonight we ride I'll pass through the darkness this night With my face pressed into the earth Thin is the veil, thick is the skin To cross the borderlands of flesh A grave is a grim horse... Tonight we ride As I lie on this house of bones Speak to me now of time's strange paths Two ages repeat, all the same Tell me what you see out there A grave is a grim horse... Tonight we ride To cross this bridge of shadows Visions of silence all turn What the dead reveal to the living My blanket can't keep out this cold A grave is a grim horse... Tonight we ride...

Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand? Who has taken you far from my land? Who has said that my sayings were wrong? And who will say that I stayed much too long? Clothes of sand have covered your face Given you meaning, taken my place So make your way on down to sea Something has taken you so far from me Does it now seem worth all the color of skies? To see the earth through painted eyes To look through panes of shaded glass See the stains of winter's grass Can you now return to from where you came? Try to burn your changing name Or with silver spoons and colored lights Will you worship moons in winter's night? Clothes of sand have covered your face Given you meaning taken my place So make your way on down to the sea Something has taken you so far from me

Like an autumn wind, a chill on the bone And the shadow drags night across the sky To see in the gut what is blind to the eyes Seek counsel in the angle of the rain You must work with the acre you are given And read the signs of your days Barren sands favor no plow To all life’s work there is a season The water at your feet, the rich black earth The fire in your head You must work with the acre you are given And read the signs of your days When the last golden shank hangs down Like the old horns of the moon If it rains on the long blasting gaze The killing frost will bite down hard You must work with the acre you are given And read the signs of your days

Wish I was a willow tree Leaning on a lazy breeze Moving like a midnight train through rainy Georgia Wish I was a grain of sand Laying in a baby's hand Falling like a diamond chain into the ocean A willow tree is strong enough to bend Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down and let the water Wash over me I wish I was an old guitar Sitting in a beat-up car Hitting every two-bit bar from here to Texas I wouldn't be ashamed To look at my old friends They'd be so glad to see me strung up again A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down and let the water Wash over me Nobody wants you when you're down and out Nobody wants to know your name Just another face lost in the crowded street Here in the crowded street I wish I was a willow tree Leaning on a lazy breeze Moving like a midnight train through rainy Georgia Wish I was a grain of sand Laying in a baby's hand Falling like a diamond chain into the ocean A willow tree is strong enough to bend Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down let the water Wash over me Wash over me Wash over me Wash over me

The vultures are flying lower than they used to They don't waste their time on old bleached bones It's too damned hot, and I feel choked out Our past betrayed by smoke and mirrors All she gives is a stone facade Like ill-given flowers at a dead man's wake Here we slave for the dreams of another And fight over scraps like wayward dogs The ash under a red stone guides the way The embers of his words ignite our souls My love and I, we will follow We'll find our valley of the moon These words a mirror of his own heart And to the land he gave it to Looking back to the strength of our blood A great river of fortune and will All they gave, they gave for us A better life in a better land The ash under a red stone guides the way The embers of his words ignite our souls My love and I, we will follow We'll find our valley of the moon A place where we can be who we are And just what we were meant to be Plain to hold and see of what we're made Spirit, sinew, blood, and soil Up horses now, and straight and true Let every broken furrow run The strength you sweat shall blossom yet And golden glory to the sun The ash under a red stone guides the way The embers of his words ignite our souls My love and I, we will follow We'll find our valley of the moon

You can't hold me I'm too slippery I do no sleepin' I get lonely You can touch me If you want to I got poison I just might bite you Lie in circles On the sunlight Shine like diamonds On a dark night Ain't no mercy In my smilin' Only fangs and Sweet beguiling Future, he don't Try to find me Skin I been through Dies behind me Solid hollow Wrapped in hatred Not a drop of Venom wasted You can slip in Try to find me Hold your breath and Flat deny me It makes no difference To my thinkin' I'll be here when You start sinkin'.

Move on and haunt some other roost You have done enough here for now Even if we never surface again At least we'll sink in the serene What's done is done What's gone is gone What's done is done What's gone is gone I can't tell where the firelight falls But I see the smoke arise To know your name and just what it means Is more than enough for me What's done is done What's gone is gone What's done is done What's gone is gone The shadow never seems to leave this side of the hill Aging before their time I can sense the cold numbing of senses The gravity holding them down What's done is done What's gone is gone What's done is done What's gone is gone What's done is done What's gone is gone What's done is done What's gone is gone
