Calexico - Stray lyrics

It rained the whole day he spent at his lover's grave

Said his goodbyes to her family and friends

Packed his things in a rusted car

And rode off in the rain

Came upon a church in ruin

With an old man dwelling within

Who said, "watch where you stray my friend"

Old man spoke of meanings lost and without name

Never shifting from their worn and weathered place

What was found in the endless search

For truth behind the tale

Beneath the ash and ember lies only one story to tell

Watch where you stray my friend

There's a flower that grows in a cave

So lovely to see but need to be saved

Its beautiful blossom will wither and die
