Lyrics

[ti:We don't eat]
[ar:James Vincent Mcmorrow]
[00:16.499] If this is redemption,why do I bother at all
[00:23.204] There's nothing to mention,and nothing has changed
[00:32.604] Still I'd rather be working at something,than praying for the rain
[00:39.726] So I wander on,till someone else is saved
[00:47.417] I moved to the coast,under a mountain
[00:51.275] Swam in the ocean,slept on my own
[01:03.872] At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay
[01:07.663] I'd remember all the things my mother wrote
[01:17.852] That we don't eat until your father's at the table
[01:25.600] We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
[01:33.292] Never once has any man I've met been able to love
[01:41.428] So if I were you,I'd have a little trust
[01:53.267] Two thousand years,I've been in that water
[01:59.548] Two thousand years,sunk like a stone
[02:08.180] Desperately reaching for nets
[02:13.849] That the fishermen have thrown
[02:17.366] Trying to find,a little bit of hope
[02:20.716] Me I was holding,all of my secrets soft and hid
[02:29.635] Pages were folded,then there was nothing at all
[02:37.707] So if in the future I might need myself a savior
[02:45.867] I'll remember what was written on that wall
[02:54.656] That we don't eat until your father's at the table
[03:00.323] We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
[03:10.726] Never once has any man I've met been able to love
[03:16.281] So if I were you,I'd have a little trust .
