Darling West - Stories Lyrics

Placed with no care on a load heading west
On a road too rough you fell
Under layers of dust you were laid to rest
But you still had tales to tell


Play for me a tune in a mournful key
Unveil another verse of the things you have seen
Share with me a song and I'll try to hum along
Fiddle, tell your stories to me


Fate took a turn in a desolate place
As a wind revealed your grave
With no strings and no bow, in a worn out case
Holding secrets I could save


Old you may be, but you'll stay when I'm gone
Adding tales along the way
All that I'm hoping for when my last day is done
A lament for me you'll play
