Quick Answer — Caledonia Mission Lyrics

[00:04.82] She reads the leaves and she leads the life [00:11.44] That she learned so well from the old wives [00:19.24] It's so strange to arrange it, you know I wouldn't change it [00:27.61] But hear me if you're near me, can I just rearrange it?

Caledonia Mission Full Lyrics

She reads the leaves and she leads the life That she learned so well from the old wives It's so strange to arrange it, you know I wouldn't change it But hear me if you're near me, can I just rearrange it? The watchman covers me With his remedy I can't see and it's hard to feel I think his magic might be real I can't get to you from your garden gate You know it's always locked by the magistrate Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's just a lie To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try If the good times get you through I know the dogs won't bother you We'll be gone in moonshine time I've got a place they'll never find You know I do believe in your hexagram But can you tell me how they all knew the plan? Did you trip or slip on their gifts, you know we're just a con? You knew it, why'd you do it, I've been hiding in the dark Now I must be on my way I guess you really have to stay Inside the mission wall Down in Modock, Arkansas
