lyrics

I get a loose tongue in good company
Said the man with the ruined knee
Drinking more as I age
Never wiser, never more sage
But when I go out by the coast, I hear ghosts in the sea
When I go out by the coast, I hear ghosts within me

And what am I to make of this man with the ruined knee?
What am I to make of the man sitting next to me?

He said, I left my wife on the church steps
Fled the country to Marrakesh
I lost the use of my knee
When her family caught up with me
But when I go limping in the woods, I hear laughter in the trees
When I go limping in the woods, I hear them laughing at me

What am I to make of this man with the ruined knee?
What am I to make of the man sitting next to me?

He said you don't know the road 'til you're on it
He said you don't know the road...
The road

He said I was on a 'most wanted' list
The FBI took a shot but missed
There's a trick I learned after all these years
It's always better to disappear
But when I go out by the river I hear whispers in the water
When I go out by the river, I hear whispers

What am I to make of this man with the ruined knee?
What am I to make of the man sitting next to me?
What am I to make of anyone?
What am I to make of the setting sun?
