Steve Earle Lyrics

"Lungs" lyrics


By townes van zandt
Well, won't you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsingPlant my feet and bitterly breatheUp the time that's passing.Breath I'll take and breath I'll givePray the day ain't poisonStand among the ones that liveIn lonely indecision.
Fingers walk the darkness downMind is on the midnightGather up the gold you've foundYou fool, it's only moonlight.If you try to take it homeYour hands will turn to butterYou better leave this dream aloneTry to find another.

Salvation sat and crossed herselfCalled the devil partnerWisdom burned upon a shelfWho'll kill the raging cancerSeal the river at it's mouthTake the water prisonerFill the sky with screams and criesBathe in fiery answers
Jesus was an only sonAnd love his only conceptStrangers cry in foreign tonguesAnd dirty up the doorstepAnd I for one, and you for twoAi'nt got the time for outsideJust keep your injured looks to youWe'll tell the world we tried
