A dog-eared mind sniffed my heart Like a pocket full of German marks Long after the war was through
Stood me on a rusted rail Turned my face and kicked my tail Up toward the yonder blue … Threw a fish up on the bank And watched him dance from the air he drank And then my hunger knew
That sparks will fly around my head When I stir the coals down in my bed Like I was walking back to you Time slips out of the leaning fence That lost the border ever since Our beloved war took to the road
With caravans and mocking birds And painted girls with twisted words Whose knees and ankles showed … Now, I sit and watch the failing moon, The shower-stars and, coming soon, The whole thing will look new
When blessedly I will forget The ways of God and all regret Like I was walking back to youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
