St Louis Elegy |
| I look at the sky |
| I see an airplane as it flies |
| Is this the way they said Jesus came? |
| Gone through St. Louis |
| Gone straightaway |
| And i hear the winter will cut you quick |
| If tears were liquor I’d have drunk myself sick |
| Woman are you home? |
| A house of cards, a frame of bones |
| Here I am earthly bound |
| Said hallelujah i’m going down |
| And the River Jordan is deep and wide |
| I think I see forever across on the other side |
| I look at the sky |
| I see a nightbird as it flies |
| Over the old bent cherry trees |
| Shivering in a row |
| Down here the winter will cut you quick |
| These tears are liquor and I’ve drunk myself sick |
| And the dead of winter will cut you quick |
| These tears are liquor and I’ve drunk myself sick |
