lyrics

Old John squints in the sun
Goes inside and grabs his gun
Just beyond the whiskey still
Four wild bore mill around

Tip toe, tip toe down
Tryin' hard to make no sound
One mistake, one little crack
And...they'll...run to ground


Chorus
Ten miles square at the edge of town
There lies a mist dawn till dawn
We are just two lost souls...
Please save us...


A day like any other day
Horton's boys are out at play
Rifle shots carry on the wind
Makes them choose a different way

Wandering...far from home
Under the tall pines sky
Where darkness comes so fast
N' ain't no bird can fly

Chorus
Ten miles square at the edge of town
There lies a mist dawn till dawn
We are just two lost souls...
Please Save us...


Back home there's no sign
Dinner's getting cold, colder
But, not...for the last time
A sense of fear fills the air

They lit the way with fire-torch
Callin' n' callin' across the marsh
Through seven days and seven nights
Until they couldn’t search no more

Chorus
Ten miles square at the edge of town
There lies a mist dawn till dawn
We are just two lost souls...
Please save us...(the Marshland Blues)

Please save us
Please save us
Please save us
The Marshland Blues
