Lucinda Williams - Death Came

Текст песни

I was called to the rolling banks by the water
To bathe in the river of truth
The river tried to pull me under
And refused to turn me loose
I was called to read from the bible of life
And I read from beginning to end
Every page and every line
Still I could not comprehend
Death came, death came
And gave you his kiss
Death came, death came
And took you away from this
Oh, I miss you so and I long to know
Why death gave you his kiss
I tasted the fruit from the tree of knowledge
And I ate from dawn till dark
I was sated, but not satisfied
Until I carved my name in the bark
I was called to drink and was seduced
By the sweetest, ripest berry
I quenched my thirst with the red juice
Still I found no sanctuary
Death came, death came
And gave you his kiss
Death came, death came
And took you away from this
Oh, I miss you so and I long to know
Why death gave you his kiss
Death came, death came
And gave you his kiss
Death came, death came
And took you away from this
Oh, I miss you so and I long to know
Why death gave you his kiss
I miss you so and I long to know
Why death gave you his kiss
