Pájaro
[Verso]
Hay sueños lo suficientemente salvajes para pasar el tiempo
Ese pájaro muerto quiere alas pero no lo recuerda
Pero no lo recuerda
No lo recuerda
No lo recuerda
Evil Eye
[Instrumental]
Tennessee Train
[Verse 1]
My first mom laughed like she never had
She dug a heel deep into the mountainside
You know Grace, who gave me back a gold ring
She always knew what was hers and what was mine
I was only stumbling through her garden gate
[Chorus]
Trains leave Tennessee, moaning as they roll away
[Verse 2]
My last dad was clean as he could ever be
Leaning through a window, rubbing at his evil eye
Last I heard, he saw it all for what it was
There are dreams wild enough to pass the time
Then again, there's all we could trade for a hiding place
[Chorus]
Trains leave Tennessee, moaning as they roll away
[Verse 3]
This dead bird wants the wings he can't recall
A weak preacher standing with a song to sing
Who knows Grace, staring at a kitchen fire
That's the way I told her I would give her anything
Anything wasn't enough to make her stay
[Chorus]
Trains leave Tennessee, moaning as they roll away
[Post-Chorus]
Roll away
Roll away
[Outro]
Life is bittersweet
