Greg Brown - Pound it on down

Tekst :

Catfish ain t bitin , water ain t flowin ,
River s so low you can walk clean across.
I m all through travelin , home s where your hat is,
I ain t got no hat, and I ain t got no boss.

Pound it on down, pound it on down,
Pound it on down, deep in the ground.

I loved some women more than I should have,
I loved some others less than was right.
Some loved me madly, and some done me badly,
I m drinkin one drink for each one tonight.

Pound it on down, pound it on down,
Pound it on down, deep in the ground.

I got an old boat sets low in the water,
I built it myself out of riverbank junk.
When I am gone, throw my old bones in,
Cut the rope, kick the boat, buddy, I m sunk.

Pound it on down, pound it on down,
Pound it on down, deep in the ground.

Pound it on down, pound it on down,
Pound it on down, deep in the ground.

    The down syndrome

    People come around
    People let you down
    Anywhere you go
    Anyone you see
    It s real
    It s up to you to make it happen
    It s up to you to make it real

    And you knowh ow it feels
    To bleed some, to need some
    And you know...

    Empire builder

    All day, everyday
    I swing my hammer to the metal on the northern railway
    Always a movie playing in my head
    A million movies starring you and me
    Moonshine every night
    Eating supper by the fire out in the clear moonlight
    Ankles crossed, hands behind my head
    Telling stories, singing songs about the west
    I m always...

    Gold star speaker

    Who was gonna tell you
    that I can speak a word?
    But its almost taken over
    into the gold.

    Our first days are over now.
    The machine has come undone.
    And the last ones will remember us
    just like any dream.
    Star speaker into the gold.
    Star speaker.

    Christmas

    Sounds,
    the summer sun comes down.
    I can hardly see the window
    from here now.
    Here and now.
    The snow,
    in waves you ll never know,
    through this ever-changing midnight.
    Just let it go.
    Hey, on this sacred, sun-rinsed day.
    They ll sell our cultrue and
    they ll sell the...

    Nothing to say

    Days can be lonely
    Night lets you down
    Wonder and wander
    There s no one around
    Nothing to say now, nothing to do
    I can feel my heart breaking
    And it s all cause of you

    Nothing to say now, nowhere...
