Rural Mist
(C) Jerry Fielden 2021 SOCAN

CHORUS
Hopping on a railcar on that train
Running in the pouring icy rain
Looking for a road out from those ways
Escaping from my dark side, evil days


VERSE 1
I was looking for some work
In the County of the Eye
This meant I had to ride
Through the wicked countryside
The conductor said OK
When he saw me in the hay
I'm just searching far and wide
And by your rules I'll abide

CHORUS


VERSE 2
We went through a patch of mist, rural mist
It was dim and foggy there, could not see
As darkness overcame the scenery
It suddenly got a bit pretty scary
A feel of dread and doom was in the air
Telling me to hide and be aware
A man with a black coat came inside
He looked like Death hitching a stately ride

BRIDGE


VERSE 3
I'm still riding on this train throughout the years
Conductor gone myself stuck in a loop
I never got away and found the place
A never-ending passing of the days
This is something else I just can't fight
The man in black is laughing through the night
The mist that permeates has no real end
I'm a lonely ghost in search of me, my friend

CHORUS
