Lungs Lyrics - Townes - Steve Earle

Well, won't you lend your lungs to me? 

Mine are collapsing 

Plant my feet and bitterly breathe 

Up the time that's passing. 

Breath I'll take and breath I'll give 

Pray the day ain't poison 

Stand among the ones that live 

In lonely indecision.

Fingers walk the darkness down 

Mind is on the midnight 

Gather up the gold you've found 

You fool, it's only moonlight. 

If you try to take it home 

Your hands will turn to butter 

You better leave this dream alone 

Try to find another. 

Salvation sat and crossed herself 

Called the devil partner 

Wisdom burned upon a shelf 

Who'll kill the raging cancer 

Seal the river at its mouth 

Take the water prisoner 

Fill the sky with screams and cries 

Bathe in fiery answers 

Photos 

Jesus was an only son 

And love his only concept 

Strangers cry in foreign tongues 

And dirty up the doorstep 

And I for one, and you for two 

Ain't got the time for outside 

Just keep your injured looks to you 

We'll tell the world we tried
