Caledonia Mission

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She reads the leaves and she leads the life That she learned so well from the old wives It's so strange to arrange it, you know I wouldn't change it But hear me, if you're near me, can I just rearrange it? [Chorus] The watchman covers me with his remedies I can't see, it's hard to feel, I think his magic might be real [Verse 2] I can't get to you from your garden gate You know it's always locked by the magistrate Now, he don't care why you cry, you know he thinks it's just a lie To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try [Chorus] And if the good times get you through, I know the dogs won't bother you We'll be gone in moonshine time, I got a place they'll never find [Verse 3] You know I do believe in your hexagram But can you tell me how they all knew the plan? Did you trip or slip on their gifts? You know we're just a con You knew it, why'd you do it? I've been hiding in the dark [Chorus] Now I must be on my way, I guess you really have to stay Inside the mission wall down in Modoc, Arkansas
