The Truth Comes Out |
| the truth comes out as the fire burns low |
| it comes to light as only embers glow |
| the whiskey talks, the west wind moans in the night |
| the deadfall’s gathered and the branches are cut |
| kindling crackles and the smoke curls up the small sticks catch then the bigger stuff will burn |
| chinook dies down as the dark descends |
| pine has burned, the ash has cleansed |
| the message smolders, is lost, but finally sent |
| connie says she’s never seen the cougars so bold |
| they’re comin in the yard and they’re stealin young colts |
| they drag em in the brush with the claws sunk in their nose |
| the weather’s been funny thirty years or so the winters got warm, not as much snow |
| hear the big cats comin cuz there’s nowhere left to go you gotta look out for bear when you’re fishing on lee’s creek |
| they’ll come round the bend and they’ll make your knees weak |
| there’s grizzlies where there was no grizzly bears before |
| half heard voices from the ghosts, from the graves |
| the grandfathers tell us at the mouths of the caves |
| only old chiefs older than jesus can save us now, if we’re lucky |
| white man light a big fire, stay cold |
| the red man’s warmer, but the old man’s old |
| the antelope seeks the buffalo in the night |
| the antelope mourns the buffalo in the night |
