[Verse 1]
Wanderers this morning came by
Where do they go, graceful in the morning light?
To Banner Fair, to follow you softly in the cold mountain air

[Verse 2]
To the forest, down to your grave
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
They do not know you anymore, more, more, more

[Chorus]
Dear shadow, alive and well
How can the body die, you tell me everything
Anything true

[Verse 3]
Into town one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don't see anybody that dear to me

[Chorus]
Dear shadow, alive and well
How can the body die, you tell me everything
Anything true

[Outro]
Jesse, I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
