Singers And The Endless Song |
When we all ran back into the briars |
We told our children about the foreign shore |
When we threw our boots into the fire |
We told them all about the tug of war |
Gonna tell them about the seed and the shovel |
About the prison and the promised land |
Gonna tell them about the dream of the devil |
About the hurting and the healing hand, that hand |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
When we held our words up in the mirror |
We told our children how to hold their tongues |
When we held our heads beneath the river |
We told them all about the iron lung |
Gonna tell them about the sins of the father |
About the junkie and the jubilee |
Gonna tell them about the roots in the water |
About the killing in the quiet line of trees |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
All our morning kisses in the covers |
And told our children what 'worthy' means |
And then you wrapped your arms around another |
And told them what was worth a pile of beans |
Gonna tell them about the call of the ocean |
About the singers and the endless song |
Gonna tell them about the body and the motion |
And how the music never lasts too long, too long |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
About the low lit alley and the wedding bed |
About the first born sucker and the spider’s web |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
About the mind and the muscle and the weary mile |
About the heart and the hustle and the empty sky |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
About the tangled up truth in the perfect teeth |
About the pilgrim and the picking through the chaff and wheat |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
About the butterfly kiss and the call for blood |
About the pig and the preacher and the holy mud |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
About the breeze in the summer and the nose will know |
About the sleep through the winter when the cold wind blows |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
About the lame duck lion and the thorny crown |
About the proud punk mule and the heavy plow |
Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers and the endless song |
About the sunburned belly and the mother’s moon |
About the end of the music coming way too soon |
