The Bonepicker – When the Fire Goes Out | Dark Country

“WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT” — an original dark country song by THE BONEPICKER. One last match. One black horse. One man riding after everything else has gone cold. “When the Fire Goes Out” is a haunting Southern Gothic dark-country song about memory, loneliness, loss, and continuing down the road when there’s nothing left behind you but smoke. Built around a melancholic resonator-banjo motif, distant harmonica, low western drums, cinematic atmosphere, and The Bonepicker’s deep weathered raspy vocal. THE BONEPICKER Dark country from the other side. LYRICS: I kept one match For the end of the road. Kept one memory I never let go. Black horse waiting, Head hanging low. Even he knows When it’s time to go. I’ve seen towns burn. I’ve seen good men fall. Funny how silence Outlives us all. When the fire goes oooooooooout, And the night comes closing in, There ain’t no saint to save me, No place left to begin. When the fire goes oooooooooout, And the cold gets in my bones, I’ll keep one hand on the reins— And riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide alone. Found her name Carved in a chapel door. Ran my hand across it Like I’d done before. Dust in the hallway, Glass on the floor. Some ghosts don’t haunt you— They just wait by the door. I’ve been running From a life that’s gone. But every road Still knows where I’m from. When the fire goes oooooooooout, And the night comes closing in, There ain’t no saint to save me, No place left to begin. When the fire goes oooooooooout, And the cold gets in my bones, I’ll keep one hand on the reins— And riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide alone. Maybe I was never lost. Maybe I just stayed gone too long. Maybe home ain’t a place at all. When the fire goes oooooooooout, Let the black sky take my name. Let the wind erase my footprints. Let the dust forget my face. When the fire goes oooooooooout, I won’t ask where I belong. I’ll tip my hat to the darkness— And riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide on. Ride on...
