Letra de Sticks & Stones

Tell the hour: go take another
Or go down, Moses, without a fuss
Give in to the lawless water
And send a later boat for us
Sticks and stones, blood, ash, and bone
I shake the tree, swim out alone:
Turning over the dark Missouri
Now that every new leaf I had is gone
The moon's near empty, a swinging saber
Keeping every prayer at bay
At the throat of love for ransom
From the dull approaching day;
There is no lord that rides this boarder
No fences stretch this far to show
How times will side against another
As one arrives and others go
(Chorus)
Whores are dressed in fire and feathers
On the beach, sit in a row
Climb the banks through scrub and tender
Disappear where rabbits go
They had nothing that I needed
But I gave them all I had
Just to share the dirt between them
As they waited, smoked and laughed
(Chorus)
