East Lyrics by Compton McMurry

East

2020

When I headed east, after dark I forgot why I left
With my head in my hands and my hands on my mind and my heart left in the west
She’s been making me bleed to black out
Till morning beams I can’t believe make me see
When I headed east of the garden, the passion had passed
But bloodlust is crouching behind every vapor-fed fast
Who cares what we sing? I’m mast-lashed
And I’d rather rope than melody rule over me
When I headed east, I was tired of the beauty of gold
But Beauty is black before bright who believes what she’s told
So why would I sleep? Lord knows
That morning beams I can’t believe won’t make me see
