I shall carry your body Across misty mountian ways Wrapped with linen and holly And lament the crooked paths Of the leather footed thieves With restless dirks and brandy The earth shelters your secret Under water weathered stone And i'm left ever wanting While grieving and broken breaths Sing through outlawed ancient pipes They focus grief so grandly One more lonely kiss goodbye Upon painted wordless lips A last wish whispers wholy But shouting and sullen eyes Scream my naked barren name While grinding Dreams to nothing

Giving up the ghost
I shall carry your body Across misty mountian ways Wrapped with linen and holly And lament the crooked paths Of the leather footed thieves With restless dirks and brandy The earth shelters your secret Under water weathered stone And i'm left ever wanting While grieving and broken breaths Sing through outlawed ancient pipes They focus grief so grandly One more lonely kiss goodbye Upon painted wordless lips A last wish whispers wholy But shouting and sullen eyes Scream my naked barren name While grinding Dreams to nothing
Not all doors open once they have been shut.
