On the Land Blues

Tried my hand as a brother

Failed as a man and a friend

I know who I was then

I know who I am now

Land it rolls into the water

Fools they go and follow after

Chasing the light like a sun

Burned out before they could shine

Lord, take the weight, I won't need it

Salvation's pain glory be

Follow me down on this road

One more hand to let go

Kindly spoke, cried on your shoulder

Better a ghost than a living man

You see through, I suppose

Visions of us on the land

Far out to where we were then

Gathered and stolen by storm

Waiting here till you return
