Lyrics

Slender Is the Throat

Shape in the darkness

I will run to you

Fall with no harness

I will run to you

Slender is the throat

That pulls the dark smoke down

Troubled is the road

That you'll be walking down

That you'll be walking down, my love

That you'll be walking down

Stark: the final scenery

That you'll be witness to

Partner in the thievery

The gallows swing for you too

And you'll be walking down that road

You'll be walking down

I've been a lonesome traveler

I've trusted not myself

I've been a lonesome traveler lately

I've trusted not myself

Oh, I've been wrong

Lately and all along
