Crossbones

My bones are lying at the crossroads There my spirit shall remain
The grief of a world I do not love
anymore I fear too much for me to take
My dear lost Anna and her lullabies
I'd say we'll never meet again
My ghost has been here
For ten winters now
Alas, If only I'd have known
I fired my rifle and I claimed this world
I worked my shoulders till they ached
Never to toil in these fields anymore
I escaped the only way I knew
Well, my spirit rose awake one day
Just in time to hear the preacher say
I was laid to rest upon a holiday
Lay this fella in the ground
Remove his head and put him upside down
And salt the Earth so his corpse won't
make a sound Hang this cross up in a tree
So the spirit of his wife might see
That we tried our best to help her husband find his way

So, my bones are lying at the crossroads There my spirit shall remain
The grief of a world I do not love
anymore I fear too much for me to take
