Song | The Wound That Never Heals |
Artist | Jim White |
Album | No Such Place |
作词 : White | |
Long about an hour before sunrise she drags his body down to the edge of the swollen river wrapped in a red velvet curtain stolen from the movie theater where she works. | |
Quiet as a whisper, under the stanchions of a washed-out bridge she cuts him loose...and watches as the flood waters spin him around once, then carry him away. | |
Then she removes the golden ring upon her finger...and she throws it in. | |
And I wonder; | |
Baby why don't you cry? | |
Baby why don't you... | |
Baby why don't you cry? | |
Three days later in a bar in southern | |
Mississippi she meets a man by the name of | |
Charles Lee. | |
She introduces herself to him as "Lee Charles" "What a coincidence." he says...and one week later they are married. | |
He wakes up one night six months down the line to find her staring at him in the oddest way. | |
When he says, "Honey, what's wrong?" she says, "Oh nothing dear...except that tears are a stupid trick of God." | |
And by the time they find his body six weeks later... | |
Well hell, she's a thousand miles away. | |
And I wonder; | |
Baby why don't you cry? | |
Baby why don't you... | |
Baby why don't you cry? | |
She runs from devils. | |
She runs from angels. | |
She runs from the ghost of her father and five different uncles. | |
Blinded by their memory, seared by their pain, she'd like to kill 'em all...then kill 'em all again. | |
She don't think much about what she's done or the funny feelings that she feels. | |
No, she don't. | |
To her it's just a condition she picked up as a child... a little thing she calls, "the wound that never heals", she calls it, "the wound that never heals" | |
And I wonder; | |
Baby why don't you cry? | |
Baby why don't you... | |
Baby why don't you cry? |
