lyrics

When you wake
You will find
All I've left behind
My long black coat
And my digging spade
Pocketful stones
And a hatful of rain

All I've left behind

Pawned a watchful
Of second chances
For a compromising
Set of circumstances
Buried her halo
On the side of the road
Down deep where
The clover grows

All I've left behind

Shatter your knees
On a storefront prayer
And it all becomes
So midnight clear
The moon's a pearl
From a broken string
Forgotten until
Its lost again

All I've left behind

When you wake
You will find
All I've left behind
My long black coat
And my digging spade
Pocketful stones
And a hatful of rain
