St Louis Elegy Lyrics

[00:06.76]	.
[00:09.57]	I look at the sky
[00:14.87]	I see an airplane as it flies
[00:21.06]	Is this the way they said Jesus came?
[00:27.04]	Gone through St Louis
[00:30.09]	Gone straightaway
[00:33.26]	And I hear the winter will cut you quick
[00:45.54]	If tears were liquor I’d have drunk myself sick
[00:55.45]	.
[01:20.60]	Woman, are you home?
[01:25.89]	A house of cards, a frame of bones
[01:32.15]	Here I am earthly bound
[01:37.94]	Said Hallelujah I’m going down
[01:44.20]	And the river Jordan is deep and wide
[01:56.38]	I think I see forever across on the other side
[02:08.72]	.
[02:38.01]	I look at the sky
[02:42.82]	I see a nightbird as it flies
[02:50.05]	Over the old bent cherry trees
[02:58.25]	Shivering in a row
[03:01.29]	Down here the winter will cut you quick
[03:13.60]	These tears are liquor and I’ve drunk myself sick
[03:28.89]	.
[03:31.04]
[03:53.79]	And the dead of winter will cut you quick
[04:06.05]	These tears are liquor and I’ve drunk myself sick
[04:20.79]	.
