Judybats - The Wanted Man lyrics

rate me

Ride my yellow mare<br />

Down to the station<br />

Stand on the platform<br />

All sag and warp<br />

Wait the train<br />

Wait the smoke<br />

See the dust<br />

See it choke the day<br />

See the man<br />

Feel the plain<br />

See the youth fade<br />

He is known as Jones<br />

He comes here every year<br />

On the selfsame day<br />

Few have seen the tear<br />

On his face<br />

Hold the yellowed letter<br />

Gently as I can<br />

Read the faded writing<br />

>From the girl back East<br />

All sweat and hope<br />

It says, "I am scared.<br />

They still search for you.<br />

No more contact.<br />

It's the best thing to do.<br />

If I come some year soon<br />

It will be the tenth of June,<br />

My love."<br />

See the yellow mare<br />

Down by the station<br />

Tied to the platform<br />

Beneath the big sky<br />

All sweat<br />

And sleep<br />

Prick her ear<br />

Blink her eye<br />

At the train<br />

Rushing by<br />

If it stopped<br />

Would she shy?<br />

But the train<br />

Rushes by<br />

A woman whispers,<br />

"He is known as Jones, he<br />

Comes here every year.<br />

On the selfsame day.<br />

I think this makes the<br />

Tenth year."<br />
