Covered in Straw Songtext
von Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks

Follow me down the road, follow me down the road
Follow me down
I′ve walked many miles through this land,
Walked many miles with your hand

But I fell from your eyes one Autumn night
I've walked many miles down this road
I lost your hand so long ago


The wolves and the bats they took you all away
I′ve walked many miles, all alone
I guess that I should return home
But it's so sad it's so empty there
I′ve slept many nights in abandoned barns
Covered in straw but not at all warm

My thoughts are of light on this lonely night
But all lanterns burn with an empty light
And morning comes like a demons claw
Scratching painful light on the coldest floor
I′ve walked many miles down this road
My pale white skin never looked old
The vultures and the crows the circle overhead
Just one more mile and I'm safe
One more mile to my grave

Follow me down the road, follow me down the road
Follow me down
