Re: Songs that speak to you
Old Crow Medicine Show
BEACON TOWN
Summer's gone, cool winds are coming
And all it's pleasures slip through my hands
The leaves are falling all around me
And the moon is rising slow again
All the people stop and stare
And they shake their heads as I pass them by
Do I look troubled, do I look lonely?
Do I look like I got tears to cry?
Oh the hours, the daylight lingers
All my deeds I leave undone
Well through the night I hear the wolves are howling
And then I dream the angels come
Well a good man can always go wrong
And sometimes the bad get it right
Well in this life I can't do neither
It's like turning the day to night
Well it must be Sunday morning
Or a holiday for the King
For I can hear the bells are tolling
Yeah and I can hear the choir sing
And now i'm slipping in the river
And watching all my bridges burn
I'm looking right into the sun
And i'll make it home when it come my turn
Troubles, oh, they are upon me
The lessons I have never learned
Well send my ticket, send it one-way
For i've got no bridges left to burn
