We picked our way Down to the beach Watching the waves Dragging out of our reach Tangling tails Like a sodden sheet Dangling entrails From the gut of the sea Hoarding our meals Alfalfa and rolls Trying not to catch The cold eyes of the gulls I hope Mother Nature has not overheard Though, she doles out hurt like a puking bird We stayed for the winter No-one told us About the laws of the land I hold my own But you, with your hunger You, on the other hand Make yourself known And when we were found I know we both grieved Letras de cancionesMy heart made the sound Of snow falling from eaves You and me, Bess We were as thick as thieves So I swore, nonetheless Up and down, it was only me So they took me away And after some time Studying my case Must have made up their minds By the time you realized I was dying It must have been too late I believe you were not lying It is the day I wake with my ears Cocked up like a gun Like every day, of course Yanked by my wrists To the sugar-front courtyard Now tell me, what have I done It seems I have stolen a horse I step to the gallows Who do you think you are Arching your hooves like a crane In the shallow gutter That lines the boulevards Crowded with folks Who just stare as I hang It's all the same Kindness comes over me What was your name It makes no difference I'm glad that you came Forever, I'll listen to your glad neighing From Letras Mania
