The Band - Caledonia Mission lyrics
[The Band - Caledonia Mission lyrics]
She reads the leaves and she leads the life
That she learned so well from the old wives
It's so strange to arrange it
You know I wouldn't change it
But hear me, if you're near me
Can I just rearrange it?
The watchman covers me with his remedies
I can't see, it's hard to feel
I think his magic might be real
I can't get to you from your garden gate
You know it's always locked by the magistrate
Now, he don't care why you cry
You know he thinks it's just a lie
To get out, I don't doubt
That you'd make a try
And if the good times get you through
I know the dogs won't bother you
We'll be gone in moonshine time
I got a place they'll never find
You know I do believe in your hexagram
But can you tell me how
They all knew the plan?
Did you trip or slip on their gifts
You know we're just a con?
You knew it, why'd you do it?
I've been hiding in the dark
Now I must be on my way
I guess you really have to stay
Inside the mission wall
Down in Modock, Arkansas
That she learned so well from the old wives
It's so strange to arrange it
You know I wouldn't change it
But hear me, if you're near me
Can I just rearrange it?
The watchman covers me with his remedies
I can't see, it's hard to feel
I think his magic might be real
I can't get to you from your garden gate
You know it's always locked by the magistrate
Now, he don't care why you cry
You know he thinks it's just a lie
To get out, I don't doubt
That you'd make a try
And if the good times get you through
I know the dogs won't bother you
We'll be gone in moonshine time
I got a place they'll never find
You know I do believe in your hexagram
But can you tell me how
They all knew the plan?
Did you trip or slip on their gifts
You know we're just a con?
You knew it, why'd you do it?
I've been hiding in the dark
Now I must be on my way
I guess you really have to stay
Inside the mission wall
Down in Modock, Arkansas
