Dead Porcupine

The trees don't lie and the clouds don't cry unless they hide the sun The moon creeps deep into my restless sleep And makes me come undone Moss on stones and brittle bones the atmosphere is heavy East of here the trail of tears is overgrown with ivy Oh my baby, never leave me Oh my baby, never leave me I hear growls and coyote howls that echo through the canyon Black-eyed snakes that make their way through the tall and tender grass Oh my baby, never leave me Oh my baby, never leave me I started walking but i had to crawl remembering what you said You don't have to talk so big You're not that small Words ringing in my head Made a line down dead porcupine Among the birds of prey Next to nothing having seen the change I guess I lost my way Oh my baby, never leave me Oh my baby, never leave me Oh my baby, never leave me
