I woke up one mornin 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 fadin, no light in the evenin
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
(repeat)
