Gillian Welch Revelator Lyrics

Revelator Lyrics

Darling, remember 

When you come to me

I'm the pretender

And not what I'm supposed to be

But who could know if I'm a traitor

Time's the revelator



They caught the katy

And left me a mule to ride

The fortune lady 

Came along, she walked beside

But every word seemed to date her

Time's the revelator

The revelator



Up in the morning 

Up and on the ride

I drive into Corning 

And all the spindles whine

And every day is getting straighter

Time's the revelator

The revelator



Leaving the valley 

And fucking out of sight

I'll go back to Cali 

Where I can sleep out every night 

And watch the waves and move the fader

Time's the revelator

The revelator



Queen of the fakes and imitators

Time's the revelator
