A late upload from the Hard Luck Anodyne EP.

lyrics

Oh lead me to my bed,
And turn off the light.
Pour oil upon my head,
And promise the tether’s tight.

Bring gifts of chaliced wine,
To follow the feast,
‘til my eyes, incarnadine,
Are longing for slumbers release.

Somewhere along the way I put a fire in the serpent’s heart.
And as the others cried away I was the last in a dying art.

Fill the hearth with kerosene and set touch to the cords.
Won’t you heal me if I bleed, with rye for the works of every sword?

Somewhere along the way I fell in love with New Orleans queen.
And as I had no part to play she was the lead in my silver screen.

So bring me to the water’s edge, tell me everything I said
Is washed and gone,
Curse every sin I miss, show me what repentance is,
Unbare my song, and lead me from this.

Kill the company and run,
Though the battle is lost.
May the captain’s will be done,
I serve unto every cost.

Somewhere along the way I took a leaf from your fallen tree,
And as all my woods decayed I felt the light of the world in thee.
So bring me to the water’s edge, tell me everything I said
Is washed and gone,
Curse every sin I miss, show me what repentance is,
Unbare my song, and lead me from this.
