Lyrics
Intro]
[Verse 1]
My breastplate catches midday sun like tin
The boy’s boots are worn through at the heel
Searching for a beast in the dry creek bed
Just two more ghosts for the dust to swallow
We don't talk about the fame we’re chasing
It’s just a way to keep the hunger quiet
[Verse 2]
He hones my edge with a piece of river stone
Doesn't say much, just watches the horizon
I offer him the skin of bitter red wine
He takes a pull and wipes the grit from his chin
We’ve been walking since the moon went down
Looking for a fight to pay the stable fee
[Refrain]
Bound by the heat and the lack of a home
Just a long walk through the devil’s garden
[Verse 3]
A lone grackle follows us over the ridge
Waiting for a piece of what we leave behind
The boy finds a track in the baking white clay
He points the way and doesn't look for a thank you
I see the way he holds that wooden spear
Like it’s the only holy thing he’s got left
[Verse 4]
We sat in the dark where the wind cuts like a knife
I gave him my cloak to keep out the bite
He leaned his back against my heavy iron greave
Knowing I’d stay awake until the sun came up
The darkness out there doesn't stand a chance
Against two fools who’ve forgotten how to run
[Refrain]
Bound by the heat and the lack of a home
Just a long walk through the devil’s garden
[Cello and Flute Outro]
