lyrics

THE CONSCRIPT'S TAG

Well I was born in a coastal town
They said 'Dear boy, you will carry a frown
The innocent's eye is not made for you
You'll see the world in all its terrible hues'
Let the wind carry me through

I saw the earth hanging like a toy
The outer darkness you will enjoy
The ghostly moon, the livid sun
The cast of stars on everyone
Let the wind carry me through

God rest your head on my shoulders
God rest your head on my kin
God bless my kids when they're older
I leave tomorrow for the wind

On a dawn patrol
On a sun bleached road
All my boys were told to keep on moving
But my hands are cold
The sun no longer gold
Commend his soul to keep on marching

Return my heart to Mary Jane
A conscript's tag won't bear two names
I love her skin, her eyes steel blue
Her roving mind that sees things new
Let the wind carry me through

For you take my hearth, you take my home
You take my life, call it your own
You bind this race to slavery
The mark of Cain on history
Let the wind carry me through

God rest your head on my shoulders
God rest your head on my kin
God bless my kids when they're older
I leave tomorrow for the wind
I leave tomorrow to the wind
