Wrinkle Neck Mules - Fortune Fades lyrics

Shaking off the shadows Running from the cold Waters churn and beckon at my door Tainted streams are flowing Where the transom used to be Take me down with the vessel when you go Fortune fades You're reaching for the light Brighter days are falling far behind When your hole is dug so deep And it's so dark you can't see The winds will always bring you home to me Concrete and the pilings Driving deep beneath the sea Amongst the rising waves and finer things Heavens to Betsy, to be a pearl upon a string Resting on your shoulder eternally Fortune fades You're reaching for the light Brighter days are falling far behind When your hole is dug so deep And it's so dark you can't see The winds will always bring you home to me No time for winding down Where I wind up is on my mind Surely there's more silver sides to see No time to count the miles Counting them up just brings me down Looks like we've been leaking gasoline Fortune fades You're reaching for the light Brighter days are falling far behind When your hole is dug so deep And it's so dark you can't see The winds will always bring you home to me
