Will Oldham Meaulnes Lyrics

Meaulnes Lyrics

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked



And he came by the way of a half-million murderers

And he came by the way of a long list of ironies

And he came by the way of the road to Sioux City

And he came by the way of the half-breeds and lesbians



And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked



And he thought it 

Was in there but still wasn't happy,

He knew it was less than the way that it could be

But undaunted unshaven and an eagle in britches he

Set out again to unveil the earth's riches



And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked



And he came by the way that I said I was leaving,

The way that I'd take if I really was going 

If I had a map, that is why I'm delaying

And if it wasn't in there I'd surely be staying



And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked

And he came by the way that he walked
