Down And Out In Canaan Lyrics - Wild Strawberries

Drinking curdled milk from a silver cup 

Watching all the boys waiting for the plan to erupt 

You can talk all you like when you're down on your luck 

And you're looking for a reason to run 

Down and out in Canaan 

On a cloudy day, you can see the sun 

Down and out in Canaan 

Nobody's gonna ever give you reason to run 

Love is never so wise as it is when it's crossed 

Like an anger wind stirring up a handful of dust 

Turning water from wine, mixing gold into rust 

Painting justice in the wake of the sun 

Close the bitter page with a sour look 

Cast a callous eye around you at the pictures you took 

Live your life in a line, leave your love in a book 

Hang your money on the tip of your tongue 

Down and out in Canaan 

On a cloudy day, you can see the sun 

Down and out in Canaan 

Nobody's gonna ever give you reason to run 

Down and out in Canaan 

On a cloudy day, you can see the sun 

Down and out in Canaan 

Nobody's gonna ever give you reason to run 

Down and out in Canaan 

On a cloudy day, you can see the sun 

Down and out in Canaan 

Nobody's gonna ever give you reason to run
