Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
[Shane] Left my home and left my love
[Kasey] Caught on a rusty nail
[Shane] Devil rose up, heavy with gold
[Kasey] My soul's not for sale
[Shane] Then a holy man in a house of God
[Kasey] He offered me a book of prayer
[Shane] But when I left my home I left my love
[Both] I left my faith back there
Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin' at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
[Shane] Shuttin' my eyes and hang my head
[Kasey] Darkness makes no sound
[Shane] Climb it up, bottom there
[Kasey] Earth's on the way back down
[Shane] When a sadness falls on the morning bird
[Kasey] Wonder what the day will bring
[Shane] But I'm shuttin' my eyes and hang my head
[Both] At least that bird can sing
Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin' at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
