Edit By: 216.73.216.14

(townes van zandt)

Well, wont you lend your lungs to me?
Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe up the time thats passing
Breath Ill take and breath Ill give and pray the days not poison
Stand among the ones that live in lonely indecision

Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold youve found,
You fool, its only moonlight
And if you try to take it home your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone, try to find another

Salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Wholl kill the raging cancer?
Seal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the skies with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers

Jesus was an only son and love his only concept
Strangers talk in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep
And I for one, and you for two aint got time for outside
Just keep your injured looks to you
Well tell the world we tried

Keep your injured looks to you
Well tell the world we tried
