[ti:freedom hangs like heaven] |
|
[ar:iron and wine] |
| [00:24.71] |
Mary,carry your babe |
| [00:26.955] |
Bound up tight like lips around a whimper |
| [00:30.223] |
Your fingers over my face |
| [00:32.947] |
Blind eyed sampson driven to the temple |
| [00:35.751] |
And night birds digging until dawn |
| [00:39.39] |
Freedom hangs like heaven over everyone |
| [00:41.974] |
Ain't nobody knows what the newborn holds |
| [00:44.670] |
But his mama says he'll walk on water |
| [00:47.922] |
And wander back home |
| [01:24.392] |
Mary,carry your shame |
| [01:26.972] |
Well past all those eyes across the avenue |
| [01:29.576] |
Fish heads running from rain |
| [01:32.852] |
You know i'll do anything you want me to |
| [01:36.20] |
Lamp oil lovers may say |
| [01:38.992] |
"freedom hangs like heaven over everyone" |
| [01:41.952] |
Ain't nobody knows what the newborn holds |
| [01:44.638] |
But his papa's going to hide shaking gristle |
| [01:46.990] |
And shaking like bone |
| [02:24.393] |
Mary,carry my name |
| [02:26.953] |
Hoof marks hacked up all i had to offer you |
| [02:29.901] |
Looked all over this place |
| [02:32.946] |
Lost your portrait lately when the winter blew |
| [02:35.933] |
In like herod and them |
| [02:38.929] |
Freedom hangs like heaven over everyone |
| [02:41.979] |
Anybody knows what the newborn holds |
| [02:44.596] |
But a dollar says he'll lick that devil |
| [02:47.285] |
And do it alone |
