Will Oldham - Meaulnes lyrics

And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way of a half-million murderers And he came by the way of a long list of ironies And he came by the way of the road to Sioux City And he came by the way of the half-breeds and lesbians And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he thought it Was in there but still wasn't happy He knew it was less than the way that it could be But undaunted unshaven and an eagle in britches he Set out again to unveil the earth's riches And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that I said I was leaving The way that I'd take if I really was going If I had a map, that is why I'm delaying And if it wasn't in there I'd surely be staying And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked And he came by the way that he walked
