lyrics

It's my first thirty-nine
And my last, I would trust
And still I'm not certain
If I've done enough

Since she sent me the wire
That the godawful sound
Of nothing meant fire
Closing all around

See, the birds are all gone
No one fleeing but me
And there's how many miles
To sanctuary?

It's hiker midnight
And I'm so far from home
It's hiker midnight…

That long summer, we smoked
And now Washington burns
These kids with their rockets
Are never gonna learn

When that phoenix alights
In the ash of our wood
Then we'll wake to a sunrise
The colour of blood

It's hiker midnight
And I'm down to my bones
It's hiker midnight
And I'm alone, I'm alone

(Instrumental)

It's my first forty-two
And a new private hell
To wake to a stranger
Whom I know too well

All it took was a spark
Tossed around in a gale
Now there's absolutely nothing
Left of our trail

It's hiker midnight
And she's still not come home
It's hiker midnight
And I'm alone, I'm alone

Oh, don't spend your penitence
There's no time to atone
It's hiker midnight
And we're alone, we're alone
