lyrics

Conjure Man

I'm the road when it's shining in the midnight rain
I'm the blood when it's running from the alleyway
I'm the steel in your hand
I'm your trouble when it lands
I'm your conjure man

I'm the stars when they're falling from a crowded sky
I'm the questions that remain when you wonder why
I'm the riddle in the sand
That you'll never understand
I'm your conjure man

I'm the smoke when it rises
In the pale moonlight
I'm the coal when it smolders
In the coldest night
I'm the broken minute hand
Ticking back where it began
I'm your conjure man
