Richard Thompson - Bad News Is All The Wind Can Carry lyrics

This house is dark and shuttered Luck has gone out the door No daytime will shine In this empty room no more Bad news is all the wind can carry I heard a sound one morning I bowed my head to weep I heard a man dig my love's grave The hole was dark, the hole was deep Bad news is all the wind can carry Some people say she wandered And that she had a price, likewise I'll cut their tongues and hang 'em high They'll rot away with all their lies Bad news is all the wind can carry I'll steal a boat and rig her On course I'll tie the wheel I'll lay down to the stars Until the bottom meets the keel Bad news is all the wind can carry
