By townes van zandt[00:00:11]

The old woman finally caught me[00:00:12]

Sneakin' 'round her cave[00:00:15]

Her hair looked just like barbwire boys[00:00:18]

And her smile just like the grave[00:00:21]

She asked me could I stay awhile[00:00:25]

I said I'd better go[00:00:28]

She slid her arm around my neck[00:00:31]

And sweetly whispered no[00:00:34]

It's cold and dark and lonely here[00:00:38]

As soon enough you'll see[00:00:41]

I'm oh so glad you stumbled in[00:00:43]

I've been cravin' company[00:00:46]

I cannot stay too long you know[00:00:51]

I left some friends at home[00:00:53]

Don't you fret about your friends[00:00:57]

Down here we're all alone[00:00:59]

What about my mother[00:01:04]

I can't just leave her there to mourn[00:01:06]

You don't have to think about her[00:01:09]

Just forget you were ever born[00:01:12]

I'll disappoint my father[00:01:17]

You know he worked so hard for me[00:01:19]

If you have to pay your father back[00:01:22]

Just send him some misery[00:01:25]

I'll miss I said a girl I know[00:01:29]

I can't just leave there to pine[00:01:32]

She's still got plenty of men to go[00:01:35]

I'm sure she'll do just fine[00:01:38]

What about my little boy[00:01:42]

She said he's just like you[00:01:45]

Let a few short years roll by[00:01:48]

He'll end up down here too[00:01:50]

Then her pale green eyes began to glow[00:01:54]

She placed her hand on mine[00:01:57]

She smiled and said don't worry[00:02:00]

You'll get used to me in time[00:02:03]

As her cold tongue flickered toward[00:02:07]

I spun myself around[00:02:10]

Made a dive for the passageway[00:02:13]

But the walls come crashing down[00:02:16]

Now her eyes were the only light[00:02:23]

My fevered brain could see[00:02:26]

But I tore myself away from them[00:02:29]

And fell down to my knees[00:02:31]

I've come too far I can't get back[00:02:36]

I beseeched the gods of men[00:02:39]

Fame and fortune just laughed at me[00:02:42]

Then silence once again[00:02:44]

A whisper deep within[00:02:46]

Embrace the god of love[00:02:52]

I lifted my face and through the tears[00:02:54]

I saw light fall from above[00:02:57]

I hurled myself into the wall[00:03:01]

I ripped and clawed my way[00:03:04]

Through the stinkin' clingin' loam[00:03:08]

Back to the light of day[00:03:10]

I crawled out into the wind again[00:03:11]

The sky upon my face[00:03:17]

I heard the earth sigh patiently[00:03:20]

As it slid back into place[00:03:22]

Now I'm back among the ones I love[00:03:30]

I'm loved by them in turn[00:03:33]

And it's only on the darkest night[00:03:36]

That green eyed memory burns[00:03:38]

So walk my friends in the light of day[00:03:43]

Don't go sneakin' 'round no holes[00:03:45]

There justmight be something down there[00:03:49]

Wants to gobble up your soul[00:03:51]
