cranford hollow - savannah lyrics
well the fire started something fierce in the belly of her head
drought and plague made it worse and pushed her to the edge
but another hundred fifty years she was green as dublin’s soul
building riverboats and cobbled streets, pushing ghosts and burning coal
sweet savannah can you hear me under spanish moss and smoke
years of sweat and pain and torture below your haunted oaks
she’s seen years of men go crazy over ever-quenching thirst
greed and guilt and cotton scorching the earth
but sherman left her standing keeping secrets locked away
the dead lay quiet in their graves under children fast at play
sweet savannah can you hear me under spanish moss and smoke
years of sweat and pain and torture below your haunted oaks
waitin on the train –
sirmans
you wither and lie in bed all day
feeling sorry for yourself and the things people say
so i’m reminding you there’s light around the bend
put your tears away, your sorrow to bed
you got a trumped sense of reality
i’m calling your bluff and your sanity
walking my street like your sh-t don’t stink
you’re waiting for a handout, begging for my change
thinking you’re stuck like a ship in a bottle
it’s time to settle up and pull that throttle
there’s a whole world waiting out there for you
take a deep breath and put on your boots
i’m coming round and coming for you
you’re all wrapped up in your dirty little blues
living your life like you’re waiting on the train
like everyone owes you and always someone to blame
taking for granted every little tiny thing
one day you’ll here them sweet songbirds sing
