I woke up one morning, All my fingers rotting. I woke up a dying man, Without a chance. I came to your window, Threw a stone and waited. At the door, a stranger stood. The stranger's voice said nothing good I turned to walk the frozen ground, Alone, all the way home Wide-eyed walker Do not wander Do not wander Through the dawn Both my eyes are fading, No light in the evening. Planted like a seed in sand, Or drowned in rain. Watch you for an hour He kept you beneath him. He kept you on lock and key He paid the wage you sent to me And wastes the day so idlly Alone, all the way home. Wide-eyed walker Do not wander Do not wander Through the dawn Wide-eyed walker Do not wander Do not wander Through the dawn
