Coven Road

Turn left where the church bell cracked Follow the smoke, there's no turning back Thirteen women, thirteen flames Singing songs with no God's name The old oak tree still bears the rope The dirt remembers, the dirt don't hope Grandma said, "Don't drive that way" But grandma's bones are dust today Can you hear them calling? Can you hear them sing? Something in the hollow Waking up again Coven Road, Coven Road Where the crows all know your name Coven Road, Coven Road Every headlight looks the same Coven Road, Coven Road Turn around before the flame Coven Road, Coven Road You'll never leave the way you came They found his truck at mile marker one Doors wide open, engine done No footprints leading anywhere Just candle wax and a lock of hair The sheriff calls it a coyote's kill The old folks know, the old folks still Won't say her name after the sun goes down Won't drive that road outside of town Coven Road, Coven Road Where the crows all know your name Coven Road, Coven Road Every headlight looks the same Coven Road, Coven Road Turn around before the flame Coven Road, Coven Road You'll never leave the way you came Thirteen candles, thirteen prayers Thirteen souls that ain't got theirs Circle wide and circle tight Nobody leaves the circle right I took that turn on a dare one night Saw the fire, saw the light Saw the faces round the flame Everyone of them called my name I ran until my lungs gave out Still hear them laugh, still hear them shout Now every year on this same date I feel the pull past that old gate Coven Road, Coven Road Where the crows all know your name Coven Road, Coven Road Every headlight looks the same Coven Road, Coven Road Turn around before the flame Coven Road, Coven Road You'll never leave the way you came Coven Road Calling still Coven Road Always will
