Fred Eaglesmith - Codeine songtekst
Je score:
Well, the codeine sure makes it hard to round up the cattle And the light sure does hurt your tortured eyes You keep falling in and out of your broken saddle There's so many knots you've forgotten how to tie And the winds willow softly like a funeral home And the dew sparkles like a baby's tear And your hands are softer than you've ever known There's nothing left for you to see or hear And that bloody barbed wire they've put it up everywhere And those summer storms they sure do make it shine The dust has changed the colour of your hair And you just can't drink whiskey anymore And there's nothing that'll kill your endless heartburn And that pickup truck is starting so much harder Lately, you've been taking some wrong turns And those survey stakes, they're on the horizon And they ain't staking out wells or mines And the sight of those machines could start you crying And the sounds keep you up in the night And the sounds keep you up in the night And the sounds keep you up in the night And the sounds keep you up in the night
