William Elliott Whitmore - Radium Death Can't Go Back

Lyrics

Everything’s quiet, the trees are still
I can’t go back to town, don’t know if I will
Give my regards to the court house judge
Tell ‘em to go straight to hell, and don’t hold no grudge

I hate these walls that lock us in
I want to wander the hills and fields again
Sleep all night under the moonlit sky
Spend some time alone just you and I

Now that it’s June, here’s what we’ll do
We’ll howl at the moon and patch the old canoe
Put it down in the water, let it take us where it may
Head downstream and (just) float away

I don’t have a dollar, I don’t have a dime
Just say you’ll be with me for all time
If you could love me just as I am
This brash and bullheaded man

Out the kitchen window, I’m so pleased to see
