The Gourds

Blankets

A long goodbye is comin' on

Just one more sun and I'll be gone

The roads will wind

And tracks will sing

'Til winter's moans turns into spring

And in the spring I brought you roses

And in the summer for you gold

And in the fall a blanket's warmin'

For in the winter to unfold

The long steel rails and short cross ties

Sing me back home like lullabies

And as I make my way back home again

I find no one to let me in
