Penitentiary shadows

from BOREAL by Mark Mitten

/

lyrics

Leave these fields
and family trees
pearl-snap shirts
angelic figurines

Penitentiary shadows
penitent beneath these gallows
the things they say I've done
I'll never know
say goodbye
say goodbye
don't follow

Rusted wire
and tractor green
home-baked breads
and gasoline

Penitentiary shadows
penitent beneath these gallows
the things they say I've done
I'll never know
say goodbye
say goodbye
don't follow

Here I stand
a broken man
don't follow

Here I kneel
Jesus feel
my sorrow

Penitentiary shadows
penitent beneath these gallows
where I'm being led
you cannot go
say goodbye
say goodbye
don't follow
