about

Song by Tom Troyer.
(ASCAP)

lyrics

That night on the watch, I had a promise to keepfrom
our rivalry torn for eternity’s sleep
alone the road.
My Brothers were doubt and their Keepers were greed.
While the market was down - all to fast on their feet.
We were kin to the land.
We were born on the run.
As debtors we stand to our shovel and gun.
And when we sell our dreams to the fortune teller we can’t just skip
the wait. The fires burning bright the smoke will burn our eyes and
the cards will play their games and we’ll forget our way.
This skeleton key, shaped like a cross is stuck in the door so I count
it a loss.
I came to this town with a burden of pride. I lay it all down for the
weakness of wine.
And when we sell our dreams to the fortune teller we can’t just skip
the wait. The fires burning bright the smoke will burn our eyes and
the cards will play their games and we’ll forget our way
