Caledonia Mission 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 were just a con?
You knew it, why d`you do it, I`ve been hiding in the dawn

Now I must be on my way
I guess you really have to stay
Inside the mission walls
Down in Modark, Arkansas
