Cassina from Ol' Furnace by Max Redding & The Dogwood Gospel

Everything so bright and new
No reason to complain
Nothing left to do but make the change
Nothing left to worry for
No madness in the wind
Let the idols fall to death in vain

She whispers secrets in the gales
She warns of what’s to come
She knows the anger for to push my soul
Left to bleach in the summer sun

Everything not what it was
Yet everything’s the same
Break the hold, the icy hand of shame
Anger gives rejection means
To lead us to the fold
There’s something in us all that can’t be sold

Drain me of misery
Ease the mind to find a dreamless sleep
I left too soon, but I held fast to truth
Alone

I was lost for years
Alone in fear
You live how you live
This is where I choose to die
And her voice is all I hear
Alone

I’ll never hide the death behind my eyes
Can’t tell no more lies, my heart’s worn on my sleeve

Call me weak or just naïve
But I’ll never walk alone again
Lay rest our past
What we’ve lost wilts out in the cold
And I’m feelin’ old
But I know, she knows
What’s in us that can’t be sold
A love so unconditional
I know, she knows
What’s in us that can’t be sold
