Orphan & Exile Lyrics

I drifted awhile among Belzoni pines

Blew my wad trying to reach you at the miss'ry line

But the tongues of my torch grew weary for touch

And I longed for you baby maybe one night too much

So I picked up my bags on the banks of San Lou

As humming old muddy she sharpened my tools

While the weariest moments of a hundred bad nights

Conspired in her cornfields to purple the light

I lingered on your kiss but the moment expired

Now I'm a wreck on a highway where the road is retired

Once I came to you baby in tragic relief

Now I can't help but laugh with the world at my grief

Its all one big puzzle out there to get solved

But I'm beginning to forget why I came here at all

So I'll bury my head in the breast of your dark

And wake at the basin where catbirds bark

See, every instant yer reckoning ain't coming its here

So dissolve in the twilight and write down your dreams

And listen to the silence and the rattle of trains

And let the wind be the medicine to your pain

Come healing, Come healing

The moon, she is revealing

The sun is alive

Though the light is retreating

Mohammeds moved on,

We'll meet him in egypt

Mark down my words,

Come Healing, Come Healing

Come healing, Come healing

Surrounded, Defeated,

What should I do now,

My will is depleted,

The moonlight is starving

On the face of Jynna

The fires aren't starting

Come healing, Come healing
