lyrics

Been watching the cornfields in Royal
Rustle in the night's sleep
With the footsteps of the groaning
Pale-dusted crows

I heard them from my window
Where I drank my brandy and tea
One flew around my lantern
Trickling oil from his beak

He said, "I told you we was coming. That the proverbs speak their truth. We seek your fair, loving Gloria. In the stable beneath the moon."

Been hoping the cornfields in Royal
Would rustle in the night's sleep
With the footsteps of you groaning
Pale-dusted crows

She's coughing the sick on the Bible
While I drink my brandy and tea
Asleep, in pain, and gives permission
For the murder to take her away

She's waiting for our Good Lord to come
As she rubs her thumbs on worn rosaries.
