James Vincent McMorrow "We Don't Eat" Слова песни

We Don't Eat

If this is redemption, why do I bother at allThere's nothing to mention, and nothing has changedStill I'd rather be working at something, than praying for the rainSo I wander on, till someone else is saved

I moved to the coast, under a mountainSwam in the ocean, slept on my ownAt dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bayI'd remember all the things my mother wrote

That we don't eat until your father's at the tableWe don't drink until the devil's turned to dustNever once has any man I've met been able to loveSo if I were you, I'd have a little trust

Two thousand years, I've been in that waterTwo thousand years, sunk like a stoneDesperately reaching for netsThat the fishermen have thrownTrying to find, a little bit of hope

Me I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hidPages were folded, then there was nothing at allSo if in the future I might need myself a saviorI'll remember what was written on that wall

That we don't eat until your father's at the tableWe don't drink until the devil's turned to dustNever once has any man I've met been able to loveSo if I were you, I'd have a little trust

Am I an honest man and trueHave i been good to you at allOh I'm so tired of playing these gamesWe'd just be running downThe same old lines, the same old stories ofBreathless trains and, worn down gloriesHouses burning, worlds that turn on their own

So we don't eat until your father's at the tableWe don't drink until the devil's turned to dustNever once has any man I've met been able to loveSo if I were you my friend, I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust
