Lyrics
[verse]
The gambler leaned in close and told the wanderer plain,
There's got to be a door we haven't tried again,
The merchants took their share and left us nothing whole,
I'm tired of carrying this weight upon my soul.
[chorus]
Up on the old stone tower, silent shapes keep guard,
The crowd below moves on, none of it seems too hard,
Somewhere out past the hills a lone dog starts to bark,
Two shadows cross the field, riding through the dark.
[verse]
The wanderer shook his head and said don't fret so fast,
Some of us just carry stories from the past,
You and I already learned this lesson well enough,
No need for pretty words now, the night is turning rough.
[chorus]
Up on the old stone tower, silent shapes keep guard,
The crowd below moves on, none of it seems too hard,
Somewhere out past the hills a lone dog starts to bark,
Two shadows cross the field, riding through the dark.
[bridge]
Clouds are stacking heavy on the far horizon line,
Something in the quiet says we're running out of time,
Every road ahead of us is tangled, steep, and new,
Nothing's certain but the storm that's rolling into view.
[chorus]
Up on the old stone tower, silent shapes keep guard,
The crowd below moves on, none of it seems too hard,
Somewhere out past the hills a lone dog starts to bark,
Two shadows cross the field, riding through the dark.
