Lyrics
0:15This is a demption If why do I have a bother
0:23There's nothing to mention and nothing has changed
0:31Still I'd rather be working at something than praying for the rain
0:39So I wander on till someone else is saved
0:46I moved to the coast under a mountain
0:54Swam in the ocean slept on my own
1:02At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay
1:10I'd remember all the things my mother wrote
1:16That we don't eat until your father's at the table
1:24We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
1:32Never once has any man I've met been able to love
1:40So if I were you I'd have a little trust
1:52Two thousand years I've been in that water
2:00Two thousand years sunk like a stone
2:08Desperately reaching for nets
2:11That the fishermen have thrown
2:16Trying to find a little bit of hope
2:23Me I was holding all of my secrets soft and hid
2:31Pages were folded then there was nothing at all
2:39So if in the future I might need myself a savior
2:46I'll remember what was written on that wall
2:53That we don't eat until your father's at the table
3:01We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
3:09Never once has any man I've met been able to love
3:17So if I were you I'd have a little trust
3:30Am I an honest man and true
3:34Have i been good to you at all
3:37Oh I'm so tired of playing these games
3:42We'd just be running down
3:44The same old lines the same old stories of
3:48Breathless trains and worn down glories
3:52Houses burning worlds that turn on their own
4:03So we don't eat until your father's at the table now
4:11We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
4:18Never once has any man I've met been able to love
4:28So if I were you my friend I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust
This is a demption If why do I have a bother There's nothing to mention and nothing has changed Still I'd rather be working at something than praying for the rain So I wander on till someone else is saved I moved to the coast under a mountain Swam in the ocean slept on my own At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay I'd remember all the things my mother wrote That we don't eat until your father's at the table We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Never once has any man I've met been able to love So if I were you I'd have a little trust Two thousand years I've been in that water Two thousand years sunk like a stone Desperately reaching for nets That the fishermen have thrown Trying to find a little bit of hope Me I was holding all of my secrets soft and hid Pages were folded then there was nothing at all So if in the future I might need myself a savior I'll remember what was written on that wall That we don't eat until your father's at the table We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Never once has any man I've met been able to love So if I were you I'd have a little trust Am I an honest man and true Have i been good to you at all Oh I'm so tired of playing these games We'd just be running down The same old lines the same old stories of Breathless trains and worn down glories Houses burning worlds that turn on their own So we don't eat until your father's at the table now We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Never once has any man I've met been able to love So if I were you my friend I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust
