We Don't Eat歌詞

We Don't Eat - James Vincent McMorrow
This is a demption
If why do I have a bother
There's nothing to mention
And nothing has changed
Still I'd rather be working at something
Than praying for the rain
So I wander on
Till someone else is saved
I moved to the coast
Under a mountain
Swam in the ocean
Slept on my own
At dawn I would watch the sun
Cut ribbons through the bay
I'd remember all the things my mother wrote
That we don't eat until
Your father's at the table
We don't drink until
The devil's turned to dust
Never once has any man
I've met been able to love
So if I were you
I'd have a little trust
Two thousand years
I've been in that water
Two thousand years
Sunk like a stone
Desperately reaching for nets
That the fishermen have thrown
Trying to find
A little bit of hope
Me I was holding
All of my secrets soft and hid
Pages were folded
Then there was nothing at all
So if in the future I might need myself a savior
I'll remember what was written on that wall
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
Never once has any man
I've met been able to love
So if I were you
I'd have a little trust
Am I an honest man and true
Have i been good to you at all
Oh I'm so tired of playing these games
We'd just be running down
The same old lines
The same old stories of
Breathless trains and
Worn down glories
Houses burning
Worlds that turn on their own
So we don't eat until your father's at the table now
We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
Never once has any man I've met been able to love
So if I were you my friend
I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust
