Hermit's Cave Lyrics

by Cass McCombs

In my twenty-seventh year
I set out to confront my fears
And found the role of a lifetime
You see, two plus seven is nine
And the ninth card in the Tarot
Is that Hermit I came to know
In London I did deprave
As if beyond the grave
From my Hermit's Cave

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e72803-cass_mccombs~hermits_cave_lyrics.html ]
Over my shoulder to
Source of Life
Come as prisoner of love
Hermit's Cave
Hermit's Cave
Source of Life
Come as prisoner of love

I rarely ever went outside
Excepting the daily stride
I made me a weekly pot
And read Bible quite a lot
There, true loneliness I did learn
Then I got a sick from Admiral Byrd
My catharsis was crushed in a wave
And my family I did crave
Oh, wretched Hermit's Cave!

Over my shoulder to
Source of Life
Come as prisoner of love
Hermit's Cave
Hermit's Cave
Source of Life
Come as prisoner of love
