Letra de Rabbit Will Run
Last I saw mother, she rose from her chair When they caught me I'd just finished combing my hair 'Cause a rabbit will run, and the colt hasn't long with the mareWe've all learned the earth while we've carried the throne We dove under the rivers and under our clothes And I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bonesLast I saw mother, she covered my ears When they caught me I offered the captain a beer 'Cause a rabbit will run, and the lion has nothing to fearWe bricked up the garden and know what it means And we've all kissed a virgin as if she were clean And I still have a prayer, despite all the colors I've seenAnd judgment is just like a cup that we share I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there Well passed the weeds in our vision of things to comeWe've all heard the rooster and all been denied And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes And I still have a prayer, a well-weathered word to the wiseLast I saw mother, she smelled like a rose When they caught me, the captain, he opened my nose 'Cause a rabbit will run, and the wind takes a bird where it blowsWe've all traded lovers and woke up alone And we clapped for the king though our fingers were cold And I still have a prayer, 'cause I love what I cannot controlLast I saw mother, she acted surprised When they caught me, the captain, he cried like a child 'Cause a rabbit will run, good dogs together go wildWe've all lived in grace at the end of the day And we've armed all the children we thought we betrayed And I still have a prayer, but too few occasions to prayJudgment is just like a cup that we share I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there Well passed the weeds in our vision of things to comeAnd we've all found a reason for hiding a gun And we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyone And I still have a prayer, so be it, I've done what I've doneLast I saw mother, she blew me a kiss When they caught me, the cuffs cut the blood from my wrist 'Cause a rabbit will run and a pig has to lay in its pissWe've all given half to the hand in our face We've all taken a stone from the holiest place And I still have a prayer, and I've furthered the world in my way
