Band The Caledonia Mission Lyrics

Caledonia Mission Lyrics

She reads the leaves and she leads the life 

 That she learned so well from the old wives 

 It's so strange to arrange it, you know I wouldn't change it 

 But hear me if you're near me, can I just rearrange it? 

  

 The watchman covers me 

 With his remedy 

 I can't see and it's hard to feel 

 I think his magic might be real 

  

 I can't get to you from your garden gate 

 You know it's always locked by the magistrate 

 Now, he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's just a lie 

 To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try 

  

 If the good times get you through 

 I know the dogs won't bother you 

 We'll be gone in moonshine time 

 I've got a place they'll never find 

  

 You know I do believe in your hexagram 

 But can you tell me how they all knew the plan? 

 Did you trip or slip on their gifts you know were just a con? 

 You knew it, why'd you do it? I've been hiding in the dawn 

  

 Now I must be on my way 

 I guess you really have to stay 

 Inside the mission walls 

 Down in Modark, Arkansas
