Big Smith
Big Smith - Mocking Bird songtekst
Je score:
Walked along the creek bank-- Had to kick the brambles down. Stopped to watch a plane fly by That was towing the sky around It was towing the sky around. Grabbed a snake from the water But his mouth opened cotton white. I took his head and his skin from his long white flesh But his coils wrapped my wrist so tight-- His coils wrapped my wrist so tight. I reached up in a golden branch To shake the fox grapes down. A sacred song was in my mouth But the mockingbird shouted me down-- That old mockingbird shouted me down. Lay back in a bed of last year's leaves The whole sky cotton white. And the crow that coughed his terrible names Flapped his way out of sight-- He flapped his way out of sight. The highway back to the city Just as blank as it could be And I forgot the snake and the birds For you waited in town for me-- At least I hoped that you waited for me. Stood at your bathroom mirror Knocked your wine glass in the sink Red wine, red wine everywhere But not a drop to drink There was nary a drop to drink So I went back to that golden branch But all had been rained down A sacred song was in my mouth But the mockingbird shouted me down-- That old mockingbird shouted me down.
