Many a long day I sit here all alone
To my left I lay my bible, the brightest book I own
The cold wind moves the pages, but the book stays on the ground
When the wind blows through the pages, it makes the strangest sound
Many a long day have my eyes longed to see
My teeth have ached to taste
My thoughts have longed to be
But I can hear the devil's footsteps, clear as a midnight train
And I can smell the lightning, but I never feel no rain
Many long day spent talking to the wind
The cold pity of the buzzards
The moon's nicotine stained grin
They say the end comes like a whisper,
a silence like a scream
And if it take me before I wake I pray to God that I don't dream
Many a long day I sit here all alone
to my left I lay my bible, its grown heavy as a stone
when I lift it I hear laughter that chills me to the bone
And it hits me like an arrow, I've never been alone
