Lyrics
They say he came with the rain on his coat
Boots full of stories, heart full of smoke
Stranger with a smile like a long lost tune
Singing to the dust, leaving by the moon
No coin in his pocket, no name he would give
Just a song in his throat and a will to forgive
He once loved a ghost, or so some claim
And every town adds a line to his name
Wren of the Winding Path
Carries no home but he leaves one behind
A voice like a secret, a face out of time
He don't stay long, but you'll never forget
The way he sings, would you die to forget
A whisper wandering melody
Echoes a chorus melody
But with a folk flourish
He played for the dined
He played for the damned
For lovers who'd broken the last of a clan
His voice is a prayer with the ache of a curse
Each song is a blessing that's whispered in reverse
Wren of the Winding Path
Carries no name that he dares to repeat
He's sung for the beggars, the kings at their feet
He don't stay long, but you'll never forget
The way he sings, would you try to forget
Some say he's running, some say he's lost
Some say he's cursed, and he knows what it cost
But the song always finds him, the road never ends
And silence breaks when he opens his hands
Wren of the Winding Path
Carries no home but he leaves one behind
A voice like a secret, a face out of time
He don't stay long, but you'll never forget
The way he sings, would you die to forget
If you meet him, don't ask where he's been
Just listen close, he might be singing your sin
