Lungs — текст песни (cowboy junkies)

(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
