Dry The River
Weights & Measures
You've made your decision
now get up and leave
the familiar sting of the woodcutter's swing to the tree
I'll fall in the forest
to elbows and knees
and it won't make a sound
since there's no-one around here to see
I was prepared to love you
and never expect anything of you
If a spirit has left you babe
don't lie to yourself
Put them old records on
and admit that it's gone somewhere else
And just because We've been so blamed by nature
it doesn't mean you should carry it again
It's a question of need-to-know Letras de cancionesrosary beads in the end
I was prepared to love you
and never expect anything of you
And there's no patron saint of silent restraint
Baby there ain't no sword in our name
just a funeral wake
You were the coldest star in the sky
Only I couldn't see you, I was blind
And in comes the black night
calling your name since you were born
only I couldn't hear it
I was empty as a drum
I was prepared to love you
and never expect anything of you
And there's no patron saint of silent restraint
Baby there ain't no sword in our name
There ain't no sword in our name
There ain't no sword in our name
just a funeral wake
