To the dark of night now, old Jimmy

Gonna run 'till there ain't no breath

Left inside my tired chest

Only then my life find charity

When you gonna find the strength to be

Clear your mind of the darkness that you see

I'll run till my legs expire

Lead me down in the cold winds quite

Only there will I find purity

Where you gonna find such charity

As a love of loved ones, old Jimmy

I'll beat my head 'till dawn

Figure out what I'm running from

Only then will I find piece in me

Where you gonna go now, old Jimmy?

Down by that muddy estuary

You can't see through the muddy waters

Fast flowing tides that order

Which direction that you need to be
