Lungs Sözleri

(Townes Van Zandt)

Well, won't you lend your lungs to me?

Mine are collapsing

Plant my feet and bitterly breathe up the time that's passing

Breath I'll take and breath I'll give and pray the day's 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 you've found,

you fool, it's 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

"Who'll kill the raging cancer?"

Seal the river at it's 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 ain't got time for outside

Just keep your injured looks to you

we'll tell the world we tried

Keep your injured looks to you

we'll tell the world we tried
