[00:00.00]We Don't Eat - James Vincent McMorrow
[00:16.35]This is a demption
[00:17.85]
[00:19.46]If why do I have a bother
[00:21.62]
[00:23.81]There's nothing to mention
[00:25.56]
[00:26.72]And nothing has changed
[00:29.72]
[00:32.48]Still I'd rather be working at something
[00:35.09]Than praying for the rain
[00:37.69]
[00:40.14]So I wander on
[00:41.53]Till someone else is saved
[00:44.32]
[00:47.16]I moved to the coast
[00:49.03]
[00:50.44]Under a mountain
[00:52.13]
[00:54.90]Swam in the ocean
[00:56.73]
[00:57.77]Slept on my own
[01:00.16]
[01:03.46]At dawn I would watch the sun
[01:06.21]Cut ribbons through the bay
[01:08.57]
[01:11.15]I'd remember all the things my mother wrote
[01:15.17]
[01:17.67]That we don't eat until
[01:19.37]Your father's at the table
[01:22.91]
[01:25.39]We don't drink until
[01:27.16]The devil's turned to dust
[01:30.93]
[01:33.10]Never once has any man
[01:36.12]I've met been able to love
[01:40.35]
[01:41.12]So if I were you
[01:42.60]I'd have a little trust
[01:46.06]
[01:53.03]Two thousand years
[01:54.44]I've been in that water
[01:57.95]
[02:00.75]Two thousand years
[02:02.68]
[02:03.59]Sunk like a stone
[02:05.89]
[02:09.50]Desperately reaching for nets
[02:11.55]That the fishermen have thrown
[02:14.55]
[02:17.14]Trying to find
[02:18.40]A little bit of hope
[02:20.79]
[02:24.01]Me I was holding
[02:25.42]
[02:27.21]All of my secrets soft and hid
[02:29.82]
[02:31.82]Pages were folded
[02:33.06]
[02:33.64]Then there was nothing at all
[02:36.03]
[02:40.22]So if in the future I might need myself a savior
[02:46.03]
[02:46.88]I'll remember what was written on that wall
[02:51.79]
[02:54.28]That we don't eat until your father's at the table
[02:59.69]
[03:02.24]We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
[03:07.40]
[03:09.82]Never once has any man
[03:12.91]I've met been able to love
[03:17.09]
[03:17.85]So if I were you
[03:19.60]I'd have a little trust
[03:22.81]
[03:30.69]Am I an honest man and true
[03:34.06]
[03:34.93]Have i been good to you at all
[03:37.86]
[03:38.51]Oh I'm so tired of playing these games
[03:42.05]
[03:42.80]We'd just be running down
[03:44.78]The same old lines
[03:46.77]The same old stories of
[03:49.31]Breathless trains and
[03:51.45]Worn down glories
[03:53.33]Houses burning
[03:54.50]
[03:55.18]Worlds that turn on their own
[03:58.04]
[04:03.97]So we don't eat until your father's at the table now
[04:09.46]
[04:11.98]We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
[04:17.48]
[04:19.75]Never once has any man I've met been able to love
[04:26.61]
[04:29.49]So if I were you my friend
[04:32.58]
[04:33.96]I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust
