o nathaniel

Singer:hiss golden messenger

oh nathaniel

how the days have laid down

like dominos or like moles in the ground

i'm mounting the ashes trying to flag a ride

no wind blowing down the mountainside

i was that kid down on the georgia line

highballin' swift in the wild sunshine

oh now nathaniel don't you take it too hard

just lay me down in the old church yard

they become clouds and they rain on you

like you're too wet to be dreaming

drink their blood and when they call on you

rise up

rise up

like the moon

like the moon

oh nathaniel put my hammer in my hand

i'm gonna meet john and the angel band

river rising now

the tide is getting high

no wind blowing down the mountainside

i was that kid down on the georgia line

highballin' swift in the wild sunshine

oh now nathaniel

don't you know you broke my heart

just lay me down in the old church yard

they become clouds and they rain on you

like you're too wet to be dreaming

drink their blood and when they call on you

rise up

rise up

like the moon

like the moon
