Watauga

Who bears the mark?
Is it burned in your flesh?
On this boundless night, black as cold
I reckon you learn
As your father once did
There's no one to blame except for him

[Chorus]
I'll take your place, and you take mine
I'll be the flame; you be the cinder
Oh, [???] right
Who bears the mark?
Well, I could hazard a guess
On this boundless night down the road
Arrive 4:21
To the Watauga line
I've been here before; it's been a while
Take the parkway to King
Left down the street
There's a lonely house I came to see
One more time, call me I'm desperate
Ask when do I work next
Can I cover your shift?
One more drive out through the [???]
Someone who wants me dead
I wish I never had known

[Chorus]
