lyrics
There’s a house in town where no one ever goes
A man lives there behind no windows
He works all day breaking stone into rocks
Never takes a break or takes time to check his watch
Self-imposed sentence traded for a life that was lost
A tall stone fence surrounds his lonely house
The wind blows hard in the door that’s facing south
He made a deal and now he has to pay
Working for the devil often turns out that way
Now he’s breaking rock and waiting for his judgment day
The prison house did exist and many know its tale
About a man that killed his wife one night, but didn’t go to jail
Condemned to punish himself for life he quietly suffers alone
A town moves on unaware that the prisoner is at home
