Corb Lund - The Truth Comes Out Lyrics
it comes to light as only embers glowthe whiskey talks, the west wind moans in the nightThe deadfall's gathered and the branches are cutkindling crackles and the smoke curls upthe small sticks catch then the bigger stuff will burnChinook dies down as the dark descendspine has burned, the ash has cleansedthe message smolders, is lost, but finally sentConnie says she's never seen the cougars so boldthey're comin in the yard and they're stealin young coltsthey drag em in the brush with the claws sunk in their noseThe weather's been funny thirty years or sothe winters got warm, not as much snowhear the big cats comin cuz there's nowhere left to goYou gotta look out for bear when you’re fishing on lee’s creekthey’ll come round the bend and they’ll make your knees weakthere’s grizzlies where there was no grizzly bears beforeHalf heard voices from the ghosts, from the gravesthe grandfathers tell us at the mouths of the cavesonly old chiefs older than jesus can save us now, if we're luckyWhite man light a big fire, stay coldthe red man's warmer, but the old man's oldthe antelope seeks the buffalo in the nightThe antelope mourns the buffalo in the night
