[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
