lyrics

travel lightly, turning slightly blue
just like a pilgrim’s supposed to do
sweet contagion, Appalachian flu
has got its hooks inside of you

but only red, red rivulets get through
rolling over leaves and rocks and roots
through the muscled mountains to the truth
it’s the blood that’s speaking through our boots

with ageless rhythm, catechism
a line of temples falling down

poison weather, English leather shoes
beating a path I did not choose
“take my hand you clever man”, she said
and wiped a hailstone from my head

but only red, red rivulets can roam
when they leave our bodies here alone
and wherever she stands, stands my home
she’s a lullaby that I intone

with ageless rhythm, catechism
in this old temple falling down
