Old Mission from True North by Nick Barnes

Then, better fades to blue
No one casts the runes or shadows like you do
They've garrisoned the truth
And when they circle it they circle you
Better blue

The rain falls down when you leave this place
The lights go down around our lake

I'm gonna lay down my shield
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Put down this burden of mine in Vermeer light

You can't make a break for the girl at sea
(The rain falls on me)
When the devil's at your door
(Soaks mon coeur)
So get thee, Satan, behind me
(Plays our city)
I'm gonna study war no more
(Sings no more)

Then water takes two
I'll take the West Bay, the East is for you
Leave off our life coats, and our paddles too
And meet at Old Mission, and meet for a few
The stout here's true, you fade from view

When the devils got you down
Pull them devils right back to the ground
Carry on, carry on
