lyrics

By day I tell my tales, I weave my words, I sing my songs
by the time the sun has set I’ll be long gone
every troubadour out on the road lives a life alone

And have you ever truly felt cold, cruel eyes in judging scrutiny?
wicked is the jackals tongue, and sweet
there does exist in me a moral code, make no assumptions please

Like black wings on a magpie, by the night I fly
chasing silhouettes and echoes, it’s time to say goodbye

I wander aimlessly from place to place, from town to town
few welcome me, and so I leave without a sound
I wonder if it’s in the tarot cards that I could settle down?

Like black wings on a magpie, by the night I fly
chasing silhouettes and echoes, it’s time to say goodbye
