Robin Pecknold - Battery Kinzie lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke up one morning All my fingers rotting I woke up a dying man Without a chance I came to your window Threw a stone and waited At the door, a stranger stood The stranger's voice said nothing good I turned to walk the frozen ground Alone, all the way home [Hook] Wide-eyed walker Do not wander Do not wander Through the dawn [Verse 2] Both my eyes are fading No light in the evening Planted like a seed in sand Or drowned in rain Watch you for an hour He kept you beneath him He kept you on lock and key He paid the wage you sent to me And wastes the day so idlly Alone, all the way home [Hook x2]
