Cowboy Junkies - Lungs Lyrics
(townes van zandt)Well, wont you lend your lungs to me?Mine are collapsingPlant my feet and bitterly breathe up the time thats passingBreath Ill take and breath Ill give and pray the days not poisonStand among the ones that live in lonely indecisionFingers walk the darkness downMind is on the midnightGather up the gold youve found,You fool, its only moonlightAnd if you try to take it home your hands will turn to butterYou better leave this dream alone, try to find anotherSalvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partnerWisdom burned upon a shelfWholl kill the raging cancer?Seal the river at its mouthTake the water prisonerFill the skies with screams and criesBathe in fiery answersJesus was an only son and love his only conceptStrangers talk in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstepAnd I for one, and you for two aint got time for outsideJust keep your injured looks to youWell tell the world we triedKeep your injured looks to youWell tell the world we tried
