Jesse Welles – Siddhartha
Released on Aug 25, 2025
over the stone under the trees together we ran with no real plan lookin to get free turnin our mind into desolation into a no-man’s land where no man had dared the deprivation
and I left you or you left me tears were cried and part of me died but I knew that I had to leave and you asked me to stay I told you I can’t well I can’t be taught what I ain’t got so it was down the road I ran
there is a man in a yellow cloak he knows somethin I don’t know what so?
I met a girl she taught me how to love she turned me into a man I forgot who I am or I remembered who I was and I made me a fortune I staked out a claim then I drank all the wine and I rolled all the dice and I pissed it all away
and I went to the river to drown but somethin in my head said yer no good dead why don’t you jus lay down and when I awoke I saw my old friend but old friends don’t change they jus get more the same and he went down the road again
there is a man in a yellow cloak good for him it’s getting cold
I had me a son his mother died she got bit by a snake and it slithered away but I tried to raise him right but the boy ran off bitterly I wept well I looked up and down around the town can nothing here be kept?
there is a man in a yellow cloak I know something he don’t know
do you want to know a secret do you want to know the truth the river is laughing and we’re only passing through
I said: ferryman what is time he said there’s no such thing listen to the stream so I did and he said goodbye and my old friend came and he kissed my head he saw all gods and men die and live again I guess we’re never really dead
there is a man in a yellow cloak there ain’t nothing left to know
do you want to know a secret do you want to know the truth the river is laughing and we’re only passing through
