You sit, and you stir
|
||
|
|
You grieve and you grieve
|
||
|
|
The same chair as your old man
|
||
|
|
Your mother's worse than you think
|
||
|
|
Sunken eyes and a withering frame
|
||
|
|
The needle quiets the longing
|
||
|
|
That poison, it fills...; it fills her veins
|
||
|
|
(One by one, one by one)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So quiet when the pain comes
|
||
|
|
Your mother's rosary ain't bringing father home
|
||
|
|
Blood rushes with cigarette burns
|
||
|
|
There ain't no God coming to save her
|
||
|
|
So quiet as the clouds roll
|
||
|
|
Your mother's rosary wrapped on the bed post
|
||
|
|
Blood rushes with cigarette burns
|
||
|
|
On that dock every night until your head hurts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You sit, and you stir
|
||
|
|
You grieve and you grieve
|
||
|
|
The longer you sit at the ocean
|
||
|
|
You lose more time than you think
|
||
|
|
Your blood runs cold
|
||
|
|
Wind biting under your coat
|
||
|
|
Pull it tight to your chest
|
||
|
|
Your mother is praying for death
|
||
|
|
Much more than you know
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So quiet when the pain comes
|
||
|
|
Your mother's rosary ain't bringing father home
|
||
|
|
Blood rushes with cigarette burns
|
||
|
|
There ain't no God coming to save her
|
||
|
|
So quiet as the clouds roll
|
||
|
|
Your mother's rosary wrapped on the bed post
|
||
|
|
Blood rushes with cigarette burns
|
||
|
|
On that dock every night until your head hurts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"You coward (you coward)
|
||
|
|
This is your fault
|
||
|
|
Our family
|
||
|
|
Has lost everything"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Look down at your hands and your lit cigarette
|
||
|
|
Put it to your lips and breathe it in
|
||
|
|
Everything starts to fade and your body is numb
|
||
|
|
And when you wake in the morning you're in the house all alone
|
||
|
|
|
||
