I married Isis on the fifth day of May |
| [00:21.300] |
But I could not hold on to her very long |
| [00:25.400] |
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away |
| [00:29.500] |
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong |
| [00:33.800] |
I came to a high place of darkness and light |
| [00:37.600] |
The dividing line ran through the center of town |
| [00:41.900] |
I hitched up my pony to post on the right |
| [00:46.000] |
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down |
| [00:50.000] |
A man in the corner approached me for a match |
| [00:54.100] |
I knew right away he was not ordinary |
| [00:58.200] |
He said "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?" |
| [01:02.300] |
I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary" |
| [01:06.100] |
|
| [01:22.800] |
We set out that night for the cold in the North |
| [01:26.900] |
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word |
| [01:30.900] |
I said "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth |
| [01:34.900] |
I said "That's the best news that I've ever heard" |
| [01:38.800] |
I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold |
| [01:42.900] |
I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace |
| [01:46.900] |
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold |
| [01:51.100] |
I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless |
| [01:55.300] |
How she told me that one day we would meet up again |
| [01:59.400] |
And things would be different the next time we wed |
| [02:03.300] |
If I only just hang on and be her friend |
| [02:07.600] |
I still can't remember all the best things she said |
| [02:12.000] |
|
| [02:28.000] |
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice |
| [02:31.600] |
He said "There's a body I'm tryin' to find |
| [02:35.600] |
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price" |
| [02:39.800] |
'T was then that I knew what he had on his mind |
| [02:43.800] |
The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous |
| [02:47.900] |
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn |
| [02:51.700] |
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious |
| [02:55.800] |
But I made up my mind that I had to get on |
| [03:00.500] |
|
| [03:16.500] |
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside |
| [03:20.100] |
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover |
| [03:24.200] |
I said a quick prayer just to feel satisfied |
| [03:28.200] |
Then I went back to find Isis just to tell her I love her |
| [03:32.300] |
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise |
| [03:36.500] |
Blinded by sleep and in need for a bed |
| [03:40.400] |
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes |
| [03:44.400] |
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead |
| [03:48.400] |
She said "Where ya been?" I said "No place special" |
| [03:52.400] |
She said "You look different" I said "Well, I guess" |
| [03:56.500] |
She said "You been gone" I said "That's only natural" |
| [04:00.600] |
She said "You gonna stay?" I said "If ya want me to, yes" |
| [04:05.000] |
|
| [04:21.200] |
Isis, oh Isis, you mystical child |
| [04:24.800] |
What drives me to you is what drives me insane |
| [04:29.200] |
I still can remember the way that you smiled |
| [04:33.000] |
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain |
| [04:37.500] |
