vance gilbert – sing me down lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as the water recedes
the shore shows its face
sing me down, sing me down
mother gives birth
the child takes her place
sing me down
sing me sweetly
sing me down

[verse 2]
rain was alkaline
it stung in his eyes
sing me down, sing me down
and he couldn’t call it water
’til the well ran dry
sing me down
sing me sweetly
sing me down
[pre+chorus]
and all that’s left
when the child comes of age
is a sigh and a kiss
the trial and the rage
and the twist and the turn
of the pеn on the page
comes too latе
oh so sweetly sing me down

[chorus]
whoever has a voice
when i’m laid in the ground
make a sweet singing sound
sing me down

[verse 3]
and he ran his machinery
’til the air went thin
sing me down, sing me down
and he didn’t look to heaven
’til the clouds rolled in
sing me down
sing me sweetly
sing me down
[verse 4]
and his iron and steel
made for weapons of war
sing me down, sing me down
and the thresher and the plow
melted down to make more
sing me down
sing me sweetly
sing me down

[pre+chorus]
when the war makers perish
and come back as kings
benevolent, loving
with voices that sing
and the people don’t see it
as such a strange thing
anymore
oh so sweetly sing me down

[chorus]
whoever has a voice
when i’m laid in the ground
make a sweet singing sound
sing me down
[guitar solo]

[verse 5]
now the sun dips back
behind its permanent cloud
shameful of his employment
to warm such a crowd

[pre+chorus]
sing me down
sing me down
sing me down
oh so sweetly sing me down

[chorus]
whoever has a voice
when i’m laid in the ground
make a sweet singing sound
sing me down

[verse 6]
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
sing me down, sing me down
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
sing me down
sing me sweetly
sing me down
