Dark and True

The Gourds

Dark and True

I know m'heart is heavy

I know m'thoughts is blue

I know the light will be shining all night

bells will be ringing dark and true

m' bells will be ringing dark and true

I feel like its been raining

I feel m'bones peelin paint

I know the red will be turnin twords the gold

all my warmth will be cold

all m'dark hair will be old

I see my fathers face

standing in my fathers skin

see m'fathers old and ugly shadow

down at the bottom of my pen

heart of gold growing dim
