Discover the story of the song > Far From Any Road – The Handsome Family

The song tells the story of a man who comes across a mysterious woman lurking in the desert. As he touches her, his fingers bleed and he falls to the ground. Later, under a silver moon, he feels a strange hunger and is comforted by his partner's trembling hand. The song ends with a poetic description of their love and how they will always be together, even as their bones are dragged away by animals.
