Calexico - Crooked Road & The Briar lyrics

Your rating:



Down the crooked road a ways

A child's shadow hiding in the briar

Tending to a twisted heart that's bent and broken

Wounded and abandoned left amongst the rotted root to rot

Moon, crimson moon

Rose marie's walking down the crooked road a ways

All aglow, her fair white skin

Portrait of beauty, angel to many

Hears the hush crying from the briar

Reaches in her hand to see what's the matter

And is dragged through the darkness

Beneath the lonely cypress

The town's beloved daughter

Carried to her death in the turbid waters

And set afloat downstream

Whole town erupts, bursts into flame

Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways

Find old rufus there drunk and asleep

Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter

Can't hold back these waves of anger

Tie a rope around his neck

See if he still hollers
