lyrics

Pushin' on the canvas air at dawn
Been followin' that river runnin' long
Faded from the evening's turning red
Will soon be dead
Will soon be dead
I'm awaiting a word from my home
I'm awaiting a word from my home
I'm awaiting a word from my home
as the leaves they turn
as the leaves they turn
I've got these devil killin' blues
I'm bound to roam

By my bedside, I've left my watch and chain
Time I've lost, I'll never see again
What's left from the house I used to know?
All wrapped up in smoke
A fire burnin' low
I'm awaiting a word from my home
I'm awaiting a word from my home
I'm awaiting a word from my home
As the leaves they turn
As the leaves they turn
I've got these devil killin' blues
I'm bound to roam

So dark the dust, the wind's crying so loud
The seconds pass, the leaves all hit the ground
Just like a child, when you are walking home
You are not alone
You are not alone
I'm awaiting a word from my home
I'm awaiting a word from my home
I'm awaiting a word from my home
As the leaves they turn
As the leaves they turn
I've got these devil killin' blues
I'm bound to roam
