Lyrics

Here in the lowlands
In the whispering cane
Buried my secrets
Buried my shame
The hole was a deep one
To China I dug in vain

I’ve done my time here
You know I paid the price
This sickness within me
I’m gonna make it right
I have called up the doctors
Consulted the Gods
There are no easy answers
No easy cure

I will see out my days here
There is no higher ground
Been lost and I’ll be found here below
The low the low the lowlands

My boots are by the door now
I am ready to go
Singing hard times no more
Got the devil in his hole
And when the water rises
Everything is dark
Wont you show me some mercy
Send me a spark
