“Cabwaylingo” is the name of a West Virginia state park. The track was later renamed “Vanquisher” for the 2014 Journey On: Collected Singles. album. Molina often had a propensity for renaming songs, so it’s not out of character.
[Verse]
They come in sorry for the second vanquisher
To have so much to pretend
Themselves not so against, though overtaken
This will survive, surviving those
Against the smell of rope through pulley sing
There are fewer greater losses known
They have their effect, they have their ransom
This will survive
[Verse 2]
You're all I think, this thing set troublin'
It will not end without brevity
Against the smell of hope through measuring
There are fewer greater former ghosts
We have our effect, we have our ransom
This will survive
Cabwaylingo was written by Jason Molina.
Songs: Ohia released Cabwaylingo on Tue Apr 01 1997.
