Hermit S Cave Lyrics - Wit's End - 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 Hermits Cave 

Over my shoulder to 

Source of Life 

Come as prisoner of love 

Hermits Cave 

Hermits 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 Hermits Cave! 

Over my shoulder to 

Source of Life 

Come as prisoner of love 

Hermits Cave 

Hermits Cave 

Source of Life 

Come as prisoner of love
