Walkabouts Blue Head Flame
tongue tied, said my prayers 20 years or more seems like yesterday hung your secrets from the judas tree watched 'em blow down to the valley floor blowin' home, watched 'em blow away and what I fear is what we all fear a fortune lost, a fortune gained cursed by the power of the blue head flame got so drunk, I took things back things I never said things I never stole from anyone dug in the clay, red on my hands guilty to the elbows, never mind my hands kept my nose clean, kept it that way for you now what I fear, is what we all fear a fortune lost, a fortune gained cursed by the power of the blue head flame watched the freights from the railroad tie spun a rusty nail, and I closed both eyes as I told my tale, as the freights went by straw of pity on the courthouse stairs wait till doomsday, you said wait for years I couldn't wait that long, I shoulda' killed for less now what I fear, is what we all fear a fortune lost, a fortune gained cursed by the power of the blue head flame ya what I fear, is what we all fear humble origins all betrayed lost to the power, we were lost to the flame tongue tied, said my prayers 20 years or more seems like yesterday got so drunk, I took things back things I never stole, things I never said to anyone I should'a killed for less
