I married Isis on the fifth day of May   But I could not hold on to her very long   So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away   To the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.      I came to a high place of darkness and light   The dividing line ran through the center of town   I hitched up my pony to a post on the right   Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.      A man in the corner he approached me for a match   I knew right away he was not ordinary   He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"   I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary".      We set out that night for the cold in the North   I gave him my blanket he gave me his word   I said "Where are we going ?" he said "We'd be back by the fourth"   I said "That's the best new that I've ever heard".      I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold   I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace   As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold   I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.      How she told me that one day we meet up again   And things would be different the next time we wed   If I only could hang on and just be her friend   I still can remember all the best things she said.      Well I picked up his body and I dragged him inside   I threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover   I said a quick prayer and then I felt satisfied   I rushed back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.      She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise   Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed   I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes   I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.      Well I said "Where ya been ?" she said "No place special ?"   She said "You look different" I said "Well I guess"   She said "You been gone" I said "That's only natural"   She said "You gonna stay ?" I said "If you want me to, Yes ".      Oh Isis oh Isis you're a mystical child   What drives me to you is what drives me insane   I can remember the way that you smiled   On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain.
