caledonia mission

Lyrics

she reads the leaves and she leads the life, that she learned so well from the old wives, it's so strange to arrange it, you know i wouldn't change it, but hear me if you're near me, can i just rearrange it?, the watchman covers me, with his remedy, i can't see and it's hard to feel, i think his magic might be real, i can't get to you from your garden gate, you know it's always locked by the magistrate, now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's just a lie, to get out, i don't doubt that you'd make a try, if the good times get you through, i know the dogs won't bother you, we'll be gone in moonshine time, i've got a place they'll never find, you know i do believe in your hexagram, but can you tell me how they all knew the plan?, did you trip or slip on their gifts, you know we're just a con?, you knew it, why'd you do it, i've been hiding in the dark, now i must be on my way, i guess you really have to stay, inside the mission wall, down in modock, arkansas
