lyrics

The sun has set itself on the tips of western hills, snake in it’s den, but for me I’m standing still, my mind a wheel.

And you took most of your garments and your clothes, the smell of your hair will forever be imposed upon these walls.

My darling won’t be waiting there for me, came up short at the river bend and creek bed, so I came back to the sea, and the waves are whispering, this lover’s own defeat.

And the ocean is as blue as it is cruel, I let the gold slip through my hands, while I drank and danced and proved that I’m the fool. And the whiskey is the ruse, it seems my fears are true.

My eyes have slurred and my speech is but a blur, courage is fire, but it seems I’ve lost my nerve, down in the dirt.

I stumble way into the town, “if you are lost, surely you can be found.” Just turn around.

I can hear your cutting words. I feel your shadow creeping on me in the night, I could have stopped that final fight, but instead I waved goodbye.
