St. Louis Elegy Lyrics

Mark Lanegan
"St. Louis Elegy"
Blues Funeral
Intro: B
Vs:
I look at the sky
I see an airplane as it flies
Is this the way they said Jesus came?
Gone through St Louis
Gone straightaway
And I hear the winter will cut you quick
If tears were liquor Id have drunk myself sick
Chs: B D E B (x2)
Vs:
Woman are you home
A house of cards a frame of bones
Here I am earthly bound
Said Hallelujah Im going down
And the river Jordan is deep and wide
I think I see forever across on the other side
Chs: B D E B (x2)
Vs:
I look at the sky
I see a nightbird as it flies
Over the old bent cherry trees
Shivering in a row
Down here the winter will cut you quick
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
Chs: B D E B (x2)
Outro:
And the dead of winter will cut you quick
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
