lyrics

There's water supplied by a poor mountain puddle
There’s a harp being blown by a train in the tunnel
There are moans singing chorus from a mountain mining folk
There's songs being sang about the harvest and smoke

*Chorus
Melody don’t hurt but words may stain
A perfectly good bass line too low to blame
This guitar is always screaming about groove and refrain
While the drums beat on like an eastbound train

If you stay here too long you’ll be soaked through the skin
You’ll claim ole’ Monroe and his roaming mandolin
You may even begin to believe in ghost
Before all the riddles unravel in your throat

*Chorus

You don’t go far here to hear songs in the wind
Life is so slow time takes time to mend
Just a up the hill around the old spring gully
There’s a fiddle tending still to Red Haired Boy

*Chorus

Blood and coal are all you’ll find in these veins
Debt and scripture fill the holes with blame
The laurels catch dew bye and bye
As the hills wear down and the creeks go dry

*Chorus
