Strangefolk - Cabin John lyrics

Don't you know what time it is? It's early I know you find it hard to sleep but Surely you will, surely you will Lay down I'm an evil man I don't mind sayin' I've been drinkin' all this day Keep your tongue still and your eyes wide open These words are all I've got to say Never truck with a lie Turn around and leave it lie Turn around and leave it Turn around and leave it lie When it rains, it pours When it rains, lay down My roof has got a leak but only when it's raining It's a shifty lookin' beater Naked arms and legs and buckets dripping The water's sweet, the woman sweeter I'm goin' over Jordan, I'm goin' over Jordan I'm goin' way back home to meet her When it rains, it pours When it rains Lay down lay down lay down lay down My name is forgettable So I invite you to remember this tale My days have been miserable But don't you get the wrong idea The rhythm of her cool northern voice Drew me in and I didn't have a choice The rhythm of her cool northern smile Drew me in and I've been there for a while The rhythm of her cool northern ways Drew me in and now I spend my days Remembering Remembering the rain Drink from the vessel I drink from. Eat from my plate This poor dry meal my supper, bathe in the taste of my fate Never truck with a lie. Oh no Turn around and leave it lie Turn around and leave it Turn around and leave it Turn around and leave it lie When it rains, it pours When it rains Lay down lay down lay down lay down This conversation began a hundred years ago A book of days within that year Body's severed from it's soul Dead ground turning, dead ground turning My mind's a tomb within my skull When it rains, it pours When it rains Lay down lay down lay down lay down When it rains, it pours When it rains Lay down lay down lay down lay down Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
