Man With No Name

lyrics

Man with no name

You kick at the tyre of the tractor
That hasn’t moved since the snow last came down
You pull at the chainlink fence blow dandelions over the old grey sow
And wonder whose hand on your arm could lead you away from here now

Well it’s the middle of summer but clouds cover up the sun, you feel cold
You run for shelter, find your father with a halter, staring at the ground

Oh why can’t I tell you , oh why can’t I say
I feel like a man with no name

In a dark pantry a dog panting, tired from running under the sun
And on the kitchen table a dripping pheasant broken by the farmer’s gun
And you sit in your armchair reading news of a war that has hardly begun
Whilst all of the berries we picked last summer turned blood red in the cup

And you thought you could break down all the fences they put around you
And you told me to take a deep breath and set my own pace

Oh why can’t I tell you , oh why can’t I say
I feel like a man with no name

Unmarked grave, an unmarked grave

Well your stepdad he fell in that kitchen and the dog sat there and waited all day
And the silent river rolled on and the clouds blew over the hills anyway
So father and son two years later we stand in a graveyard in the rain
And if I could lead you to the answer I would , you know I would say


I feel like a man with no name

Man with no name in an unmarked grave

trailer star Nottingham, UK

It’s hard going at times but glory can come from misery. The fragility and the feeling of being on the edge of toppling over is balanced by the skeletal beauty of the songs.
