whiskey jones & the dead seas – the grave robber’s lament lyrics
[verse 1]
runnin’ from your grave, got a suitcase full of bones
did you really think i’d leave you here alone?
hoppin’ on a train, gotta get the h+ll away
they’ll string me right on up for a crime i cannot say
one if by land, two if by sea
either way i know that they’re comin’ here for me
[verse 2]
it’s a long ways away to reach the western coast
but i’m gonna make it there even if i’m a ghost
there’s a place by the sea; a long forgotten cove
the place you’ve always longеd to call your home
gonna find you a spot way up there on thе cliffs
so you can lie at peace among the coastal drifts
and i’ll build myself a home on the rocks down below
for all that’s endured i will reap what we sow
but a thousand miles away the train breaks down
so now it’s just me and my feet on the ground
[instrumental]
[verse 3]
and so i cross the desert at night
down forgotten trails of the navajo
through darkened woods over mountains
swallowed up by the ghosts that haunt them
i reach a river that cuts through limestone
and follow it straight to the delta
where i feel the earth quake beneath me
as i step out onto the seaboard
[verse 4]
and i look out over the great divide
and watch the waves drift with time
when i find the cove lined with conifers
i lay your bones in the ground
just then your ghost appears
in the fog hung over the ocean
you say: “my god i hate to tell you
but, oh, these ain’t my bones”
[outro]
oh these ain’t my bones
oh these ain’t my bones
oh these ain’t my bones
oh these ain’t my bones
