[00:17.600]I married Isis on the fifth day of May
[00:21.300]But I could not hold on to her very long
[00:25.400]So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
[00:29.500]For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
[00:33.800]I came to a high place of darkness and light
[00:37.600]The dividing line ran through the center of town
[00:41.900]I hitched up my pony to post on the right
[00:46.000]Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down
[00:50.000]A man in the corner approached me for a match
[00:54.100]I knew right away he was not ordinary
[00:58.200]He said "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?"
[01:02.300]I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary"
[01:06.100]
[01:22.800]We set out that night for the cold in the North
[01:26.900]I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word
[01:30.900]I said "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth
[01:34.900]I said "That's the best news that I've ever heard"
[01:38.800]I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold
[01:42.900]I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
[01:46.900]As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
[01:51.100]I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless
[01:55.300]How she told me that one day we would meet up again
[01:59.400]And things would be different the next time we wed
[02:03.300]If I only just hang on and be her friend
[02:07.600]I still can't remember all the best things she said
[02:12.000]
[02:28.000]We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
[02:31.600]He said "There's a body I'm tryin' to find
[02:35.600]If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"
[02:39.800]'T was then that I knew what he had on his mind
[02:43.800]The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous
[02:47.900]We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
[02:51.700]When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
[02:55.800]But I made up my mind that I had to get on
[03:00.500]
[03:16.500]I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
[03:20.100]Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
[03:24.200]I said a quick prayer just to feel satisfied
[03:28.200]Then I went back to find Isis just to tell her I love her
[03:32.300]She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
[03:36.500]Blinded by sleep and in need for a bed
[03:40.400]I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
[03:44.400]I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead
[03:48.400]She said "Where ya been?" I said "No place special"
[03:52.400]She said "You look different" I said "Well, I guess"
[03:56.500]She said "You been gone" I said "That's only natural"
[04:00.600]She said "You gonna stay?" I said "If ya want me to, yes"
[04:05.000]
[04:21.200]Isis, oh Isis, you mystical child
[04:24.800]What drives me to you is what drives me insane
[04:29.200]I still can remember the way that you smiled
[04:33.000]On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain
[04:37.500]
