Plastered in your newspaper palace Dishes and the backdoor slams The dogs on the floor They don't roam anymore And the rivers gone deaf at the dam
The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps Chokes you when you lift your rake A wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth But your love aint the kind you can keep
Oh roses and cigarettes Pillow case that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again
Seen how you look at the stranger I see how you waite when he's gone If I told you I thought that there was a sin in your heart Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong
Oh roses and cigarettes Pillowcase that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again
He tells you that he needs you, he's a liar He tells you he's a hero, he's a fool He tells you he'll stay till the lords breaking day Then babe he ain't nothing but cruel
Oh roses and cigarettes Pillowcase that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again
All the wild horses All the wild horses Tethered with tears in their eyes May no man's touch ever tame May no man's reigns ever chain you And may no man's weight ever defrayed your soul And as for the clouds Just let them roll Roll away Roll away As for the clouds Just let them roll Roll away Roll away
People on the street now Faces long and grim Souls are feeling heavy And faith is growing thin Fears are getting stronger You can Feel them on the rise Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes I said how come How come Everybody on a shoestring Everybody in a hole Everybody crossing their fingers and toes Government man spin his politics till he got you pinned Everybody trying to reach out to each other But they don`t know where to begin I said how come I can`t tell the free world from living hell I said how come How come all I see is a child of god in misery I said how come the pistol now as profit The bullet some kind of lord and king But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is going to bring Love can be a liar And justice can be a thief And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink I said how come I can`t tell the free world from living hell I said how come How come all i see is a child of god in misery I said how come Its just man killing man Killing man Killing man Killing man Killing man I don`t understand Its just man killing man

She lifts her skirt up to her knees Walks through the garden rows with her barefeet, laughing I never learned to count my blessings I choose instead to dwell in my disasters.
I walk on down the hill through grass grown tall and brown and still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain On past the busted back of this old and rusted Cadillac that sinks into this field collecting rain
Will I always feel this way? So empty, so estranged.
Of these cutthroat, busted sunsets These cold and damp, white mornings I've grown weary If through these cracked and dusty dimestore lips I spoke these words out loud No one would hear me.
Lay your blouse across the chair Let fall the flowers from your hair and kiss me with that country mouth, so plain. Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves to me, it sounds like they're applauding us The quiet love we've made
Will I always feel this way? So empty, so estranged.
Well I looked my demons in the eyes Laid bare my chest said do your best and destroy me See I've been to hell and back so many times I must admit you kind of bore me
There's a lot of things that can kill a man There's a lot of ways to die Yes and some already dead that walk beside you There's a lot of things I don't understand Why so many people lie Well it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fires inside me
Will I always feel this way So empty, so estranged
There may come a time, a time in everyone's life Where nothing seems to go your way, Where nothing seems to turn out right There may come a time, you just can't seem to find your place For every door you open, seems like you get two slammed in your face That's when you need someone, someone that you can call. And when all your faith is gone Feels like you cant go on Let it be me Let it be me If its a friend that you need Let it be me Let it be me Feels like you're always coming in last Pockets full of nothing, you got no cash No matter where you turn you ain't got no place to stand Reach out for something and they slap your hand Now I remember all too well Just how it feels to be all alone Feel like you'd give anything For just a little place you can call your own That's when you need someone, someone that you can call And when all your faith is gone Feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me
So the home town's bringin' you down Are you drownin' in the small talk and the chatter? Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done? Punchin' the time and climbing life's long ladder
You've been howlin' at the moon like a slack-jawed fool And breaking every rule they can throw on Well, one of these days is gonna be right soon You'll find your legs and go and stay gone
Young man, so full of big plans And thinkin' about tomorrow Young man, wanna make a stand You beg, you steal, you borrow You beg, you steal, you borrow
Now all the friends that you knew in school They used to be so cool, now they just bore you Just look at 'em now, already pullin' the plow So quick to take to grain like some old mule
Young man, so full of big plans
And thinkin' about tomorrow Young man, wanna make a stand You beg, you steal, you borrow You beg, you steal, you borrow
Dreamin' of the day you're gonna pack your bags And put the miles away Oh, just grab your girl and go where no one knows you What will all the old folks say?
So the home town's bringin' you down Are you drownin' in the small talk an the chatter? Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done? Punchin' the time and climbing life's long ladder
Young man, so full of big plans And thinkin' about tomorrow Young man, wanna make a stand You beg, you steal, you borrow You beg, you steal, you borrow
So the home town's bringin' you down Are you drownin' in the small talk an the chatter? Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done?
Ray Lamontagne - Gossip In The Grain - 레이 라몬테인 (Ray Lamontagne) 노래/소니뮤직(SonyMusic) 제임스 모리슨보다 좀 더 부드럽다고 해야 하나. 여튼 여자들이 딱 반할 만한 목소리일세. 난 요근래 들어서야 이 사람 앨범을 듣게 됐는데 보니까 2008년도 앨범이다. 꽤 됐구나. 국내에 라이센스로 발매된 음반도 3개다. 난 왜 전혀 몰랐지?? 보니까 예전에 레이첼 야마가타와 Duet 이라는 곡을 함께.....
