Well, it came from the water with a black heart, oh my God

It fell like a sunset, sank into a field

Well, it held my hand, no, it had me by the throat

And we were coming down when the sun was just coming up

Well, I went walking on the devil's time

With nothing but a shadow from the other side

Now don't save my soul

I'll take my chances on these winding roads

I'll go wherever the wild wind blows

'Cause if I'm gonna die, I wanna die an old ghost

When they found me by the water, I was sick and shivering

Well, it was howling in the hills, you could hear it in the wind

Well, it held me by the hand, no, it had me by the throat

Oh, and we were coming down when the stars, they were just coming out

Well, I went walking on the devil's time

Oh, with nothing but a shadow from the other side

Now don't save my soul

I'll take my chances on these winding roads

I'll go wherever the wild wind blows

'Cause if I'm gonna die, I wanna die an old ghost

Now don't save my soul

I'll take my chances on these winding roads

I'll go wherever the wild wind blows

'Cause if I'm gonna die, I wanna die an old ghost

I went walking on the devil's time

With nothing but a warm breeze blowing by and by
