Last Ditch Lyrics - Walkabouts

This is the last ditch ever I dug 

Once there were motives but they have been lost 

Dig through the sand still you end at the rock 

This is the ditch that I dug 

These are the blankets that we should have worn 

Now marrow is soaking and taken with cold 

Us rag and bone merchants have just greed to lose 

This is the ditch that I dug 

The ditch it lies empty and waits for your laugh 

My head was your shovel and I was your back 

And sweat made the river that cut through the flat 

This is the ditch that I dug 

This is the ditch that I dug 

The crows haven't eaten the scraps they were fed 

The crows they stay honest and keep to themselves 

Their silence infected my stitches gone loose 

There will be rain today, yes 

There will be rain today
