Westward from Eden

from Sad Old Songs by Arran Fagan

/

lyrics

As I traveled westward from Eden
Came to a sight in the road
All the cigarettes and glass, and all the fire burning ash
It filled my mind and heavy’d in my soul

The Birch held the wreckage like a lover
Warm and true with its embrace
Must have held on through the night, burning fire and its life
Until the sun could come shine and take its place

The Birch stood charren from the outside
With its intentions holding true
Died that very night amongst the silver in the light
Sent a shiver I welcomed and I knew

And I knew that it was me
Though I did not know till now
And I knew that I would die
If I did not leave this town

There’s no problem with being a martyr
If in the name of something true
But what if that you think is something hiding in your drink
And it truly, does not believe in you

This thought captured in my mind now
Drove me from Garden to the Road
As I straightened down the line, leaving the omen from my mind
In the rearview, the couple drenched in gold

And I knew that it was me
If I did not take control
And I knew that I would die
If I did not let you go

And the twilight was worn and frayed thin
Showing crimson patchwork skies
Somewhere down the line I left a little piece behind of everything I ever did know

And I knew that it was me
As if waiting for the call
And I knew that I would die
Yes I knew that I would die
Oh I knew that I would die
If I did not lose it all
If I did not lose it all.
