Revelator - Gillian Welch

Darling, remember

When you come to me

I’m the pretender

And not what I’m supposed to be

But who could know if I’m a traitor

Time’s the revelator

They caught the katy

And left me a mule to ride

The fortune lady

Came along, she walked beside

But every word seemed to date her

Time’s the revelator

The revelator

Up in the morning

Up and on the ride

I drive into Corning

And all the spindles whine

And every day is getting straighter

Time’s the revelator

The revelator

Leaving the valley

Fucking out of sight

I’ll go back to Cali

Where I can sleep out every night

And watch the waves and move the fader

Time’s the revelator

The revelator

Queen of fakes and imitators

Time’s the revelator
