Lowground

Hit the asphalt hard, gone burning down
 Spit and broken teeth, blood on the ground
 Raw are the hours, blackened out is the sun
 My lover is gone, my lover is gone
 Chorus:
 Live in the low ground, lay in the low ground
 Make your way through the low ground, lonesome
 Live in the low ground, lay in the low ground
 Make your way through the low ground, lonesome
 Still, black sorrow and bitter fermented
 The puddle of the poet's tears, forgotten the more they meant it
 The cry of a whip, the crack of a gun
 I'll never love another one, never love another one
 (Chorus)
 There's a place I know, I've been there before
 Where the river cuts deep through the canyon
 In the wilderness I will clear my soul
 Up to the silence, to the thunder that rolls
 And the rain, it will drench me and cut to my bones
 And I'll leave clean and I'll leave whole
 And I'll set out again to find my home
 Glass furnace hard, and a stupor of loss
 Squall of surrender and paying the cost
 For a blindness for blindness, too late now I see
 Love, I come back to me, I come back to me
 (Chorus...)
