Verse 1) Another long day ending, in this flat Delta land, Just an empty feeling, and dirt sifting through my hand. The sun bleeds out across the sky, painting hues of red and gray, Another promise broken, at the closing of the day. (Chorus) Delta dusk despair, heavy on my soul, Trying to find some comfort, to make myself whole. But the wind just whispers secrets, of what I used to be, Lost out here forever, wild and free. (Verse 2) The shack leans hard to westward, roof is falling in, Just like this old spirit, where do I begin? To climb out of this darkness, out of this deep hole, When the blues are always singing, taking their heavy toll. (Bridge) Heard the stories from my grandpappy, of the flood and the drought, How this land gives little, and never lets you out. Just keeps on pulling you down, into the blackest mud, A country boy's existence, always misunderstood. (Harmonica Solo) (Chorus) Delta dusk despair, heavy on my soul, Trying to find some comfort, to make myself whole. But the wind just whispers secrets, of what I used to be, Lost out here forever, wild and free. (Outro) Lost out here... forever... in the Delta dusk.
