I woke up one morning

All my fingers rotting

I woke up a dying man, without a chance



I came to your window

Threw a stone and waited

At the door, a stranger stood

The stranger's voice said nothing good

I turned to walk the frozen ground alone

All the way home



Wide eyed walker!

Do not wander!

Do not wander through the dawn



Both my eyes are fading

No light in the evening

Planted like a seed in sand and drowned in rain



Watch you for an hour

He kept you beneath him

He kept you on lock and key

He paid the wage you send to me

And waste the day so idly alone

All the way home



Wide eyed walker!

Do not wander!

Do not wander through the dawn

Wide eyed walker!

Do not wander!

Do not wander through the dawn
