j.d. crowe & the new south - rock salt & nails lyrics
on the banks of the river, where the willows hang down
and the wild birds all warble with a low mourning sound
down in the hollow, where the waters run cold
it was there i first listened to the lies that you told
now i lie on my bed, and i see your sweet face
the past i remember, time cannot erase
the letter you wrote me, it was written in shame
and i know that your conscience still echoes my name
(instrumental break)
now the nights are so long, lord sorrow runs deep
and nothing is worse than a night without sleep
i walk out alone and look at the sky
too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry
if the ladies were blackbirds, and the ladies wore thrushes
i’d lie there for hours in the chilly, cold marshes
if the ladies were squirrels with a high bushy tail
i’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
