Lyrics

0:04I'm on the dark side of a hollow hill
0:14The sun comes up babe
0:18But it's hard to get my fill
0:23Your blues are rapping and it fits my mood
0:32I'm through with Bibles
0:37And I'm through with food
0:42Somebody's calling
0:46Trying to track me down
0:51And if I don't answer
0:56I'd hang around
1:00As side-passed lovers lost in the dark
1:10I look for high ground for to build an ark
1:19I can't remember when I felt so free
1:28Maybe September
1:31The year you believed in me
1:38In 1900 and 99
1:47When I found the angels a-drinking wine
2:15Seems every castle is made of sand
2:24The great destroyer sleeps in every man
2:34Here comes my baby here comes my man
2:44With the silver dagger in his hand
2:54Ooooh
3:03With that silver dagger in his hand
I'm on the dark side of a hollow hill
The sun comes up  babe
But it's hard to get my fill
Your blues are rapping and it fits my mood
I'm through with Bibles
And I'm through with food
Somebody's calling
Trying to track me down
And if I don't answer
I'd hang around
As side-passed lovers lost in the dark
I look for high ground for to build an ark
I can't remember when I felt so free
Maybe September
The year you believed in me
In 1900 and 99
When I found the angels a-drinking wine
Seems every castle is made of sand
The great destroyer sleeps in every man
Here comes my baby  here comes my man
With the silver dagger in his hand
Ooooh
With that silver dagger in his hand
