Cowboy Junkies Miscellaneous Lungs (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 |
