Saints & Crows

I've been thinking that every day Is a shovelful of dirt slowly fillin' up my grave And oh, it's coming fast So I'm fixin' to move along Gonna stay a moving target Gonna outrun the morning But there's more at stake! We are fragile bones and water When we're gone we're really gone There's really only one thing that consoles me Now Caroline's damn sure At the end she's going north Where the saints and the crows go That's all she'll need But that don't, don't excuse All the things that I demand As though giving up her youth for me But it's time to go And she's standing at the station With tears behind a smile Says, "Baby, well I guess I always knew you" I fell for the daughter of a farmer Real salt and old earth Sometimes I can feel my body bursting Sometimes there's nothing to feel, Oh Oh but Caroline You know it's time I know you've seen comin' From a hundred miles Caroline Let me see your smile I know you've seen comin' From a hundred miles Ahh
