Fortune Fades (from Let the Lead Fly)

from A Free History Of​.​.​. by Wrinkle Neck Mules

/

lyrics

Shaking off the shadows, running from the cold
Waters churn and beckon at my door
Tainted streams are flowing where the transom used to be
Take me down with the vessel when you go

Fortune fades, you’re reaching for the light
Brighter days are falling far behind
When your hole is dug so deep and it’s so dark you can’t see
The winds will always bring you home to me

Concrete and the pilings driving deep beneath the sea
Amongst the rising waves and finer things
Heavens to Betsy, to be a pearl upon a string
Resting on your shoulder eternally

No time for winding down, where I wind up is on my mind
Surely there’s more silver sides to see
No time to count the miles, counting them up just brings me down
Looks like we’ve been leaking gasoline
