1
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
2
But I could not hold on to her very long
3
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
4
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
5
I came to a high place of darkness and light
6
The dividing line ran through the center of town
7
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
8
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down
9
A man in the corner approached me for a match
10
I knew right away he was not ordinary
11
He said, "Are you looking for something easy to catch?"
12
I said, "I got no money, man", he said, "That ain't necessary"
13
We set out that night for the cold in the North
14
I gave him my blanket and he gave me his word
15
I said, "Where are we going?" He said, "We'd be back by the fourth"
16
I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard"
17
I was thinking about turquoise, I was thinking about gold
18
I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
19
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
20
I was thinking about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless
21
How she told me that one day we meet up again
22
And things would be different, the next time we wed
23
If I can only could just hang on and be her friend
24
I still can't remember all the best things she said
25
We came to The Pyramids, all embedded in ice
26
He said, "There's a body that I'm trying to find
27
If I carry it out, it'll bring a good prize"
28
It was then that I knew what he had on his mind
29
Well, the wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous
30
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
31
When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious
32
But I made up my mind that I had to get on
33
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
34
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
35
I said a quick prayer, just to feel satisfied
36
Then I went back to find Isis just to tell her I love her
37
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
38
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
39
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
40
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead
41
She said, "Where ya been ?", I said "No place special?"
42
She said, "You look different", I said, "Well I guess"
43
She said, "You been gone", I said, "That's only natural"
44
She said, "You gonna stay ?", I said, "If you want me to, yeah"
45
Isis, oh, Isis you mystical child
46
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
47
I still can remember the way that you smiled
48
On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain
