Hanging Man
Warren comes in singing Bringing in the shoes Summer’s over and it’s almost Autumn’s time Bumper crapper kisses Fakers all in breeze Get the rhythm right It can beat you to the raft Oh my left is empty But I got a 4 I have Walking on air like a hanging man A friend of mine, she told me In this life you have a choice You can either be a fool or A thief But I’m sitting here tonight Listening to her voice Backseat love brought us both to grief She love the woman in me Wanted me to do more things Oh, walking on air like a hanging man Letras de canciones I was born a moon child I hate how that’s all true Heart torn between the road and home Sometimes it seems it’s all set We’re just moving through Some part of us stay so all alone We think we’re doing what we want to We just doin what we can Walking on air like a hanging man I could hardly see you In the backroom of the shack Some down the razor cut, bleeding on the west Our two confessions have left us on our backs Two little birds chewing on your chest Oh I wish I could have told you So you could understand I’m just walking on air like a hanging man A little cup of whiskey The old songs of the old The road is leading me along shore JB Lenore, cutting through the bone Billy Holiday had open-door Great souls are their only riches In a world of shifting sand Walking on air like a hanging man Mary burns all night With a rope hanging open I can see their tender hearts She tells me there ain’t one thing Don’t wanna be like I was hoping And all I can do is to play my part Take a look at the darkness and slowly stand Walking on air like a hanging man From Letras Mania
