Ten Sleeps
I heard that time treated you fine get along left me behind
Wood & leaves burry me in the tall ten sleeps
That we climbed every eve first winter snow brought to be
Then i sold the horse for more whiskey & weed
Miss Pomeroy sold me my joy
Singing songs for a chain gang
No it ain't the same as any walking straight
The railroad owns my name
When they call for me like pulling string
Could you ever hear the sound in ten sleeps?
The ballroom drunken colors & dreaming of your running through south
I hear the whistle blowing it's the only love that I'd ever know
The weatherman is stealing all the hard earned rain to come
Then the whiskey done washed out all the breath from your mouth
Adalone did they take you home
I don't feel like myself anymore
Black ties came & moved me along
Just like you said, not another bird song
Wood & leaves burry me in the tall ten sleeps
That we climbed every eve first winter snow brought to be
Then i sold the horse for more whiskey & weed
Miss Pomeroy sold me my joy
Singing songs for a chain gang
No it ain't the same as any walking straight
The railroad owns my name
When they call for me like pulling string
Could you ever hear the sound in ten sleeps?
The ballroom drunken colors & dreaming of your running through south
I hear the whistle blowing it's the only love that I'd ever know
The weatherman is stealing all the hard earned rain to come
Then the whiskey done washed out all the breath from your mouth
Adalone did they take you home
I don't feel like myself anymore
Black ties came & moved me along
Just like you said, not another bird song
