lyrics

we waited in line to see your faith inside the moon
in rays of light that hang silver and high above
we built our safety from a lake of blood
i know fire when i see it burn

i think i'll go on out
to the end of the road
think i'll lay myself down
think i'll rest my head on the bones
whatcha gonna do about it now
whatcha gonna do
when we're all out on the ground
lost in horse latitudes

i came as a sign to show your families in pain
in rain they dressed in black
as they walked the trail of dead
you must've been out of your head
when you said you won't go back for seven years

i think i'll go on out
to the end of the road
think i'll lay myself down
think i'll rest my head on the bones
whatcha gonna do about it now
whatcha gonna do
when we're all out on the ground
lost in horse latitudes

no one listens when you're down
they just crawl beside the stale light of myth and man
and cross into hands
we'll hide inside a barn and make it through the night
of a thousand eyes

i think i'll go on out
to the end of the road
think i'll lay myself down
think i'll rest my head on the bones
whatcha gonna do about it now
whatcha gonna do
when we're all out on the ground
lost in horse latitudes

about

Mark Darling Denver, Colorado

"Like a delirious, forbidden encounter between Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley in the afterlife, (Mark) Darling's music soothes, caresses and titillates one minute, then stings, teases and torments the next."
