歌曲歌詞
Colorado passes by
Like writing on a wall
Headed eastward down
To New Orleans
Dipping into Texas
As the stars are fading out
And there's still a lot of country
In between
When I left California
I was 29 years old
And the world just spun me around
Now I watched Louisiana scroll
Across the window pane
And I'm facing the direction
I am bound
Cover up the sun
Let the river run
Make that water run
And wash me away
Me Clifton and the king of cats
Are sat down in the road
Pedro said boys
We're three of kind
He said I sat with river rats
And I hung my hat with diplomats
Had four brothers once upon a time
He said they tore the country
Far away from the Rio Grande
And the road just wore them down
So they bought a house
Beside a lake
Outside of New Orleans
And they stared in the direction
Of the escalating sound
Cover up the sun
Let the river run
Take this good man's son
And wash him away
Sister indeciperable is talking
To a wall
Back in New York city
She's a queen
Well resurrector Genuflect
She saves the one she can't protect
Keeps the chapel pressed
If not Sistine
She drinks Absinthe mixed
With Kerosene to keep
Herself upright
But the word still breaks her down
If you can't keep your
Sh*t together
When God is on your side
What chance do you have
When he's not around
Cover up the sun
Make that water run
Let the river come
And wash me away
People of the Mardi Gras
In their Tuesday best
Waiting for the South to rise again
Children of Geronimo
Grieving for the West
Feather dressed
And marching their refrain
All in the dark of Armstrong Park
The marching bands ascend
But they never make a sound
Just a quiet prayer for communist square
The silent congregation there
The night to rest our eyes in
We just look to the horizon for a change
Cover up the sun
Let the river run
I pray the water come
And wash me away
Carved in the sky
I'll make that diesel fly
Come on just lay me down to die
And just take me away
Yeah
