Lungs Lyrics


Well, won't you lend your lungs to me?
Mine are collapsin'
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
Up the time that's passin'Breath I'll take and breath I'll give
And pray the day is not poisoned
Stand among the ones that live
In lonely indecisionWell, fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool it's only moonlightIf you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
Try to find anotherSalvation sat and crossed herself
Called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancerSeal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries

Bathe in fiery answersWell, Jesus was an only son
And love his only concept
The strangers cry in foreign tongues
And dirty up the doorstepAnd I for one, and you for two
Ain't got the time for outside
Keep your injured looks to you
We'll tell the world that we tried

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Townes Van Zandt (John Townes Van Zandt, born at Fort Worth, Texas, March 7, 1944 and died at Smyrna, Tennessee, January 1, 1997). He was a country and folk singer and poet. While alive, Van Zandt was labelled as a cult musician. Though he had a small and devoted fanbase, he never had a successful album or single, and even had difficulty keeping his recordings in print. Many of his songs, including "If I Needed You," "To Live Is To Fly," and "No Place to Fall" are considered standards of their genre. AllMusic has called him "one of the greatest country and folk artists of his generation."
