The Winding Sheet

Mark Lanegan The Winding Sheet歌詞
1.Down In The Dark

(lanegan/johnson)

Baby, you're goin' down in the dark
Show my lonely night is fallin'
I don't have very long
I think my blood might boil
Then my veins might burn
And you're gonna make it better for a little while

Baby, you're gonna die someday
See you when you're crawlin', wasted
Then you'll start to fade
That won't be so i'm sinkin' faster
I wouldn't wait so long
It won't get any easier in the dark

Oh yeah
You will
You will
You will
You will
You will

Baby, you're goin' down in the dark
Think my lonely night is fallin'
I don't have very long
Think my blood might boil
And then my veins might burn
And you're gonna make it better for a little while

Oh yeah
You will (11x's)


2.Eyes Of A Child

(lanegan/johnson)

See through the eyes of a child
And it won't be real
Eyes neither hateful or cruel
No lies conceal
Eyes that wander, eyes that strayed
While the shame in your heart
Remains

Cryin' were the eyes of a child
In pain, tonight
Tears that i bled on you
From the heart of an angel of fear, tonight
We can wander, we could stray
But the shame remains

See through the eyes of a child
And it won't be real
I have loved your eyes
Neither hateful or cruel
No lies conceal
We could wander, we could stray
But the shame, has remained
Has remained
It has remained


3.I Love You Little Girl

(lanegan)

Love you little girl
Better than i love my
Better than i love myself
Want you and me
Forever, ever and ever
Just so far from home
Just so far from home

Love you little girl
Better than i love my
Better than i love myself
Want you and me
Forever, ever and ever
Just so far from home
Just so far from home
Love you little girl (4x's)


4.Juarez

(lanegan/fisk)

Night train is groovy
An orange jubilee
Feels good comin' and goin'
I'm warm all over me

Fire up the crack boys
And tie off my arm
Cinch up my diaper
Turn the tv on
Give me another blow job
Before i'm on the nod
Say you'll always love me and
Never do me harm
Never do me harm
Never do me harm

Well you're a preacher's daughter
And i'm a bastard's son...


5.Mockingbirds

(lanegan/johnson)

Your voice is a mockingbird
Calling me when the day is gone
You please yourself with every word
Telling me where i'm going wrong
Telling me where i've gone wrong

Get me out it's starting to burn
I can't let go for the life of me
Some hold tight, and some turn
Another fire out in front of me
My whole life out in front of me

You can't kill what's already dead
But i don't blame you for trying it
The sun comes up and falls away
Two little birds makin' sense of it
Two mockingbirds making sense of it


6.Museum

(lanegan/johnson)

You hear them call your name
From your room
Far removed
Don't let 'em use you in, every way
Stay unchained
Around and round you go
They'll never know, what you've seen
Why have you turned away
You can believe, believe in me
Couldn't you try one time
See if they'll run, for a while
It's a solitary star
Shining precious light
Light on me
When i see your eyes
Tell me what you find
But i oughtta know, by now
Did you hear them call your name
From your room
Far removed
I'd only use you in, every way
Stay unchained
It's a solitary star
Shining precious light
Light on me


7.Ten Feet Tall

(lanegan/johnson)

I see they're comin'
Just tell me it ain't true
How lonely sorrow, and i fall back to you
One time or another
Like i want

She is alone, and i don't walk that tall
Memories amounting, to nothin' i can't keep
Just as soon forgotten
Hate is all, that her tears ever show
Saying sing, well come on black cat sing

Hate is gone, drippin' lies from the tongue
Demanding my all, well i don't walk that tall

I see they're comin'
Just tell me it ain't true
Head down in sorrow and i, stumble back to you
One time or another
You might find
Hate is all, that her tears ever show
Sayin' sing, well come on black cat sing
I don't walk that tall
I don't walk that tall


8.The Winding Sheet

(lanegan/johnson)

Saw god staring from the wall
I was alone and lost
Here to take me from this world
Still alone and lost

Night when the dogs from hell come out
Roam my house in chains of gold
The darkness dares my eyes to close

Saw a ghost in the shadows smile
I was sick in my soul
All tied up in a winding sheet
Still sick in my soul

Night when the dogs from hell come out
Roam my house in chains of gold
The darkness dares my eyes to close

With the setting sun(3x's)

Tired i lay me back on thorns
Full of fear in my head
Lay me back so i could not rise
Full of fear in my head

Night when the dogs from hell come out
Roam my house in chains of gold
The darkness dares my eyes to close
With the setting sun
Rose with the setting sun

With the setting sun
The night is born, my time has come
With the setting sun
With the setting sun
Jesus touch my hand
Please touch my hand
Please touch my hand
With the setting sun


9.Ugly Sunday

(lanegan/johnson)

I feel your blood run cold
And it's a rainy sunday morning
I count the million miles i'm driftin'
From here, to hell
Today

Behind their windows people stare
Can't recognize the kindness there
Just prayers for drownin' ships at sea
None for me
And you

It'll take a hard rain to wash your taste away
Still i wish there was a reason left to stay

I'm drunk half blind
And it's an ugly sunday morning
The wind arrives with the clouds refusing to break
Apart, like me
Why if all the world's stopped turnin'
How can all this rain keep fallin'
Washin' me a million miles away
From you

Why if i'm so alone now
Is it getting hard, to say goodbye now
Goodbye now


10.Undertow

(lanegan/johnson)

Water will forgive me, i'm just tryin' to forget
Starin' at the water as the waves turn ruby red
Remembering
Fear and paranoia run together in my dreams
Water will accept me give me a peace i've never seen
Remembering
Wrap your arms around me
And i'm as light as anything
Through the air i can't breathe
Your lips form a curious smile
Water will forgive me for everything i never should
Water will accept me for all the things i never could
Wrap your arms around me
And i'm as light as anything
Through the air i can't breathe


11.Where Did You Sleep Last Night

my girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I would shiver all night through

Her husband was a hard-workin' man
Til a mile and a half from here
His head was found in a dried up well
And his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I would shiver all night through
(shiver for me now)

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm goin' where the cold winds blow
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver all night through


12.Wild Flowers

(lanegan)

I have to watch you come back to earth
Now it's all i can do
Will you still be convinced wild flowers
Are waiting for you

In my mind i've done good things
And never cared why
And my mind is an open door, with nothing inside

Looks like the autumn is upon us
It's turnin' so cold
When everything said's either faded out
Or written in stone

If you could find an easier road, you'd take it today
You could have taken me anywhere
You just take it away

I have to watch you come back to earth
If it's all i can do
Will you still be convinced wild flowers
Are waiting for you

Have we ever done good things
And never cared why
'cause my mind is an open door, with nothing inside


13.Woe

(lanegan)

We got some poison in us
Cyanide and nicotine
More than you've ever seen
More than i can believe
Woe, woe, woe, woe

Guns guns they all got guns
Now they wanna shoot someone
I'd rather be drunk than dead
Or go where jesus fled
So i'll get drunk again
Or maybe not
Woe, woe, woe, woe

I saw on a tombstone
He came in this world alone
Spent all his time alone
He left this life alone
Woe, woe, woe, woe
