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.

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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
