The Stopping-off Place Lyrics

    Well the fog's rollin' thick in the trees
    And the fire burns deep in the hole
    My conscience a wound with no salve
    It betrays me wherever i go

    Said the best way a man can go down
    Is to die with his face to the street
    And you guessed that the
    Way i'd go down
    Like a gambler who rolls off to sleep

    But that night on the mountain,
    I staged my own death
    Left my clothes scattered far
    Down the trail
    And i dreamed of your neck,
    Your raven-haired crown
    With no trace, i jumped over the rail

    Move along, cannot stay
    The stoppin'-off place
    Move along, cannot stay
    The stoppin'-off place

    Plain clothes knows nothin' bout me
    And plain clothes knows
    Nothin' bout you
    He'll call off the chase in a snap
    He'll give up the chase if you ask

    And i promised to you, that i'd
    See my way clear
    And i'd come back to get
    You someday
    With silver for teeth and blood
    In my hair
    I'd come back and get you someday

    Move along, cannot stay
    The stoppin'-off place
    Move along, cannot stay
    The stoppin'-off place

    Move along, cannot stay
    The stoppin'-off place
    Move along, cannot stay
    The stoppin'-off place
