Ancient Rain
Summer time has almost gone
And every clock, an hour put on
Last night we danced and merry-made
Under the full moon, madness played
An older witch, he danced with me
Later he sat on my knee
A fiddler flashed his fiddler's grin
To hell and back, from lock to chain
The witch was clean, washed al fine
But born one day after me
We were told was lock and key
He left me in the morn
I slept on till one o'clock
My head felt like a concrete block
I drink some whiskey lord, I drink it hot
On the first day of winter
Ancient rain, pouring down
Wears my bones to the ground
Ancient rain, pouring down
Wears my bones to the ground
The demons taunt in pagan times
The past and present now in rhyme
Two hands that squeeze my life away
On this the holy All Saints Day
Ancient rain, pouring down
Wears my bones to the ground
Ancient rain, pouring down
Wears my bones to the ground
