St. Louis Elegy (Blues Funeral 2012)

Текст песни Mark Lanegan - St. Louis Elegy (Blues Funeral 2012)

I look at the sky, I see an airplane as it flies
Is this the way they said Jesus came?
Gone through St. Louis, gone straightaway
Now I hear the winter will cut you quick
If tears were liquor, I'd have drunk myself sick

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Woman are you home?
A house of cards, a frame of bones
Here I am earthly bound
Said hallelujah, I'm going down
And the River Jordan is deep and wide
I think I see forever, oh, across on the other side

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I look at the sky
I see a nightbird as it flies
Over the old bent cherry trees
Shivering in a row
Down here the winter will cut you quick
These tears are liquor, oh yeah, and I've drunk myself sick
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

And the dead of winter will cut you quick
These tears are liquor and I've drunk myself sick
