Just The Right Bullets Lyrics - The Black Rider - Tom Waits

There is a light in the forest 

There is a face in the tree 

I'll pull you out of the chorus 

And the first one's always free 

You can never go a-hunting 

With just a flintlock and a hound 

You won't go home with a bunting 

If you blow a hundred round 

It takes much more than wild courage 

Or you'll hit the tattered clouds 

You must have just the right bullets 

And the first one's always free

You must be careful in the forest 

Broken glass and rusty nails 

If you're to bring back something for us 

I have bullets for sale 

Why be a fool when you can chase away 

Your blind and your gloom 

I have blessed each one of these bullets 

And they shine just like a spoon 

To have sixty silver wishes 

Is a small price to pay 

They'll be your private little fishes 

And they'll never swim away 

Photos 

I just want you to be happy 

That's my only little wish 

I'll fix your wagon and your musket 

And the spoon will have it's dish 

And I shudder at the thought 

of your Poor empty hunter's pouch 

So I'll keep the wind from your barrel 

And bless the roof of your house
