Songtexte Caledonia Mission - Remastered - The Band

She reads the leaves and she leads the life
That she learned so well from the old wives
It′s so strange to arrange it, you know I wouldn't change it
But hear me if you′re near me, can I just rearrange it?
The watchman covers me
With his remedy
I can't see and it's hard to feel
I think his magic might be real
I can′t get to you from your garden gate
You know it′s always locked by the magistrate
Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it′s just a lie
To get out, I don't doubt that you′d make a try
If the good times get you through
I know the dogs won't bother you
We′ll be gone in moonshine time
I've got a place they'll never find
You know I do believe in your hexagram
But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?
Did you trip or slip on their gifts, you know we′re just a con?
You knew it, why′d you do it, I've been hiding in the dark
Now I must be on my way
I guess you really have to stay
Inside the mission wall
Down in Modock, Arkansas
