Johnny Cash Lyrics
You began a search
I know many have tried
Not a blind man among you
For years let fate decide
So swallowed and followed and played through start to end
With the good weight all carried by your faithful friend
She wrote you a song and you bought a wedding dress
Having handsome bite buxom
Have insured people met
Then sundry and nocturnal
You lay your peace to sleep
With your new loves good fortunes
And secrets safe to keep
What will await you
Can tether no more
What's shrunken withers
In the path to your door
What will await you
Can tether no more
What's shrunken withers
In the path to your door
I know many have tried
Not a blind man among you
For years let fate decide
So swallowed and followed and played through start to end
With the good weight all carried by your faithful friend
Having handsome bite buxom
Have insured people met
Then sundry and nocturnal
You lay your peace to sleep
With your new loves good fortunes
And secrets safe to keep
Can tether no more
What's shrunken withers
In the path to your door
Can tether no more
What's shrunken withers
In the path to your door

It'd be excellent if the first 4 songs on this album all flowed into each other like some kind of folk rock epic.
Sons and Daughters rock! i saw them today playing in HMV in Edinburgh and they are so different from anyone i have seen or heard before.... I have no idea what this song's about though! :S
This song sounds like the Human League in a good way!
Weird. Wonder what it means? I love it.
Withers are apparently the shoulders of a horse. RANDOM!
It also has the line "start to end"..
Man. Too cryptic for me.
It's a really cool song, but i have no idea of what it 's about. i think the 'start to end' is in the beginning to end, start to finish kinda way, and 'withers' can also mean shriveling, so i think it may mean what is already small and wrinkly, gets smaller and more wrinkly on the way to the door, which suggest evil, and sinister goings on. i'm sorry, i sound patronising, ARGGG, i sound like my english teacher.....
Don't be stupid. This song is about Johnny Cash. It's the fucking tittle for christ sakes.
"She wrote you a song and you bought a wedding dress"
June wrote the song "Ring of Fire" about Johnny. And after they were married.
