The Bitter Suite (Pájaro / Evil Eye / Tennessee Train)

Hay sueños lo suficientemente salvajes

Para pasar el tiempo

Ese pájaro quiere alas

Pero no lo recuerda

Pero no lo recuerda

No lo recuerda

No lo recuerda

My first mom laughed like she never had

She dug a heel deep into the mountainside

You know Grace, who gave me back a gold ring

She always knew what was hers and what was mine

I was only stumbling through her garden gate

Trains leave Tennessee

Moaning as they roll away

My last dad was clean as he could ever be

Leaning through a window, rubbing at his evil eye

Last I heard, he saw it all for what it was

There are dreams wild enough to pass the time

Then again, there's all we could trade for a hiding place

Trains leave Tennessee

Moaning as they roll away

This dead bird wants the wings he can't recall

A weak preacher standing with a song to sing

Who knows Grace, staring at a kitchen fire

That's the way I told her I would give her anything

Anything wasn't enough to make her stay

Trains leave Tennessee

Moaning as they roll away

Roll away

Roll away

Life is bittersweet
