about

there really are no better ways to address some things than through music. therefore... you'll have to listen to the track... or read the lyrics.

lyrics

I once met a man with his heart in the earth
He's worked all his life and he knows what it's worth
He don't know where he's going just knows where he's been
You can smell death coming before you see him

He has mud in his hands he don't want to let go
Eyes close to the ground for to watch it all grow
The moons and the rains are all he's following
But you can smell death coming before you see him

Oh why do we lose everything we win?
And you can smell death coming before you see him

His wife and his babes they have all gone away
Still he laughs for the light on the leaves every day
From on high it falls on his magic garden
Though he can smell death coming before he sees him

He can't find his heart so he loves with his hands
The things that he touches the wood and the land
Oh but time through his fingers he feels it slipping
And he can smell death coming before he sees him

Oh why do we lose everything we win
And we can smell death coming before we see him

The love that he's made it has dearly been bought
With all of the blood and the pain unsought
So he'll hold onto life with all of his being
Though he can smell death coming before he sees him

So all of our moments and all of our loves
Will rise up in the sky like so many white doves
They'll clear the horizon with all that has been
For all of the choice that we imagine
And we can run from the fear like immortal sin
Or we can meet death coming like we've already been
