Walkabouts - Blue Head Flame lyrics
rate me
Tongue tiedsaid my prayers
Tongue tiedsaid my prayers
20 years or more
20 years or more
Seems like yesterday

Hung your secrets from

The judas tree

Watched 'em blow down
Watched 'em blow down
To the valley floor
To the valley floor
Blowin' homewatched
Blowin' homewatched
'em blow away
'em blow away
And what I fear is what we all fear
And what I fear is what we all fear
A fortune losta fortune gained
A fortune losta fortune gained
Cursed by the power of the
Cursed by the power of the
Blue head flame
Blue head flame
Got so drunkI took things back
Got so drunkI took things back
Things I never said
Things I never said
Things I never stole from anyone
Things I never stole from anyone
Dug in the clayred on my hands
Dug in the clayred on my hands
Guilty to the elbows
Guilty to the elbows
Never mind my hands
Never mind my hands
Kept my nose clean
Kept my nose clean
Kept it that way for you
Kept it that way for you
Now what I fearis what we all fear
Now what I fearis what we all fear
A fortune losta fortune gained
A fortune losta fortune gained
Cursed by the power of the
Cursed by the power of the
Blue head flame
Blue head flame
Watched the freights from

The railroad tie
The railroad tie
Spun a rusty nailand I closed
Spun a rusty nailand I closed
Both eyes

As I told my taleas the

Freights went by

Straw of pity on the

Courthouse stairs
Courthouse stairs
Wait till doomsdayyou said

Wait for years

I couldn't wait that long

I shoulda' killed for less

Now what I fearis what we all fear
Now what I fearis what we all fear
A fortune losta fortune gained

Cursed by the power of the

Blue head flame

Ya what I fearis what we all fear

Humble origins all betrayed

Lost to the powerwe were

Lost to the flame

Tongue tiedsaid my prayers
