I was a stone in the dry lake bedThat a furious and tumbling river once fedLike an apostle of Jesus with his hands on my headOr another horse dead from exhaustionThe rings on your fingers, the rings on your armsThe hoops in your ear or your necklace of charmsOr the long lifelines that are traced in your palmsAre an elegant tale of misfortuneA reasonable thing would be to just walk awayEmpty your pockets and call it a dayIf you've got religion, then you know how to prayAnd if you don't, you can always try thinkingThat was a thought that we fastened with wireBound it with cloth and placed in the fireThat even the lowest river has a source somewhere higherA thousand miles from the oceanThere is a fear that will empty your heartAnd devils that will fool you for taking it apartAnd you'll think it's the end, but it's only the startOf a crippling and useless emotionThe town that you wound up in won't know your nameLetras de cancionesA circle of hungry wolves eying your claimWearing your love like a proud lion's maneWondering, "What the hell was I thinking?"You're going out bravely you're going out badWith your head full of happy and your heart full of sadAnd all of the weapons you never realized you hadAre piled up and buried behind youMaybe you'll lose one, maybe you'll winMaybe your armor is perilously thinOr your endless and shameful appearance of sinIs only there to remind youIf it wasn't so dark, if it wasn't so lateI'd be much more inclined to acknowledge my fateIt's hard to accept it, but it's harder to hateMaybe it's just my heart sinking From Letras Mania
