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
Dragging this bag of stones
Till they bury me down beneath the ground
With the dust and rattling bones
Left my home and left my love
Caught on a rusty nail
Devil rose up heavy with gold
My soul's not for sale
Then a holy man in a house of God
He offered me a book of prayer
But when I left my home and I left my love
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
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands and break my back
Dragging this bag of stones
Till they bury me down beneath the ground
With the dust and rattling bones
Shut my eyes and hang my head
Darkness makes no sound
Climb it up, bottom there
Earth's on the way back down
When a sadness falls on the morning bird
Wonder what the day will bring
But I shut my eyes and hang my head
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
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands and break my back
Dragging this bag of stones
Till they bury me down beneath the ground
With the dust and rattling bones
Till they bury me down beneath the ground
With the dust and rattling bones
