  • I woke up one morning
    All my fingers rotten
    I woke up a dying man without a chance

    I came to your window
    Threw a stone and waited
    At the door a stranger stood
    The stranger's voice said nothing good
    I turned to walk the frozen ground alone
    All the way home

    Wide-eyed walker
    Do not wander
    Do not wander
    Through the dawn

    Both my eyes are fading
    No light in the evening
    Planted like a seed in sand and drowned in rain

    Watch you for an hour
    He kept you beneath him
    He kept you on lock and key
    He paid the wage you sent to me
    And waste the day so idly alone
    All the way home

    Wide-eyed walker
    Do not wander
    Do not wander
    Through the dawn
    Wide-eyed walker
    Do not wander
    Do not wander
    Through the dawn Writer/s: Robin Pecknold
