Iron & Wine "Rabbit Will Run" lyrics

Translation to:fr

Rabbit Will Run

Last I saw mother she rose from a chairWhen they caught me I'd just finished combing my hair'Cause a rabbit will run, as a colt does along with the mareWe've all learned the earth while we carried the throneWe dove under the rivers and under our clothesNow I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bones

Last I saw mother she covered my earsWhen they caught me I offered the captain a beer'Cause a rabbit will run, and a lion has nothing to fearWe bricked up the garden and oh, what it meansAnd we've all kissed a virgin as if she were cleanAnd I still have a prayer, despite all the colors I've seen

And judgment is just like a cup that we shareI'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you thereWell past the weeds and our vision of things to come

We've all heard the rooster and all been deniedAnd we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyesAnd I still have a prayer, a well-weathered word to the wise

Last I saw mother she smelled like a roseWhen they caught me the captain, he opened my nose'Cause a rabbit will run, and the wind takes a bird where it blowsWe all traded lovers and woke up aloneAnd we clapped for the king, though our fingers were coldAnd I still have a prayer, one that I cannot control

Once I saw mother, she acted surprisedWhen they caught me the captain, he cried like a child'Cause a rabbit will run, and good dogs together go wildWe all live in grace at the end of the dayAnd we've armed all the children we thought we'd betrayedAnd I still have a prayer, but too few occasions to pray

And judgment is just like a cup that we shareI'll jump over the wall and wait for you thereWell past the weeds and our visions of things to come

And we've all found a reason for hiding the gunAnd we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyoneAnd I still have a prayer and so be it, I've done what I've done

Last I saw mother, she blew me a kissWhen they caught me the cups caught the blood from my wrist'Cause a rabbit will run, and a pig has to lay in it's pissWe've all given half to the hand in our faceWe've all taken a stone from the holiest placeAnd I still have a prayer, and I've furthered the world in my wake
