The Band - Caledonia Mission
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 remedy
I can't see and 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
he thinks it's just a lie
To get out
I don't doubt
that you'd make a try
If the good times get you through
I know the dogs won't bother you
We'll be gone in moonshine time
I've 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 were just a con
You knew it why'd you do it
I've been hiding in the dawn
Now I must be on my way
I guess you really have to stay
Inside the mission walls
Down in Modark Arkansas
