Lyrics
Carrion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Won't do no good to hold no seance
What's gone is gone, and you can't bring it back around
Won't do no good to hold no searchlight
You can't illuminate what time has anchored down
Honey, I've gone away
Honey, I've gone away
I've gone away
Won't do no good to sing no love song
No sound could simulate the presence of a man
Won't do no good asking no questions
Your divination should acquaint you with the plan
Ooh, honey, I've gone away
Honey, I've gone away
Honey, I've gone away
My feel for you, boy, is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion of a murdered prey
And all I want is to save you, honey
Or the strength to walk away
Won't do no good to go no distance
The space between us is as boundless as the dark
Won't do no good to throw no fist, baby
You can't intimidate me back into your arms
Because honey, I've gone away
I've gone away, I've gone away
I've gone away, I've gone away
I've gone away
My feel for you, boy, is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion of a murdered prey
And all I want is to save you, honey
Or the strength to walk away
