Sarah Siskind - Maxwell lyrics

Maxwell was a measured man, played his cards with a heavy hand Until the day his fortune fell, ask me how I knew him well Born unto a family, stump in place of a family tree Only child left alone, mother dead and his father gone Maxwell my boy What will be your fate Oh Oh it's not too late Maxwell my boy what will be your fate... Had more land than you or me, he owned damn near everything House was on the highest hill, standing there, standing still Looking back as I neared the end, yeah no one there to call a friend All he had was all he owned, behind the silent walls of stone Maxwell my boy What will be your fate Oh, oh, it's not too late Maxwell my boy what will be your fate... Well I used to be a measured man, played my cards with a heavy hand Truest love, never known, this lonesome tale, is my own When the night bird sings it's song, yeah and I regret all I've done I recall those darkest days, and thank the lord that an can change Maxwell my boy What will be your fate Oh, it's not too late Maxwell my boy what will be your fate Oh, it's not too late Oh, it's not too late
