Sam Riggs - Angola's Lament şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Sam Riggs

albüm: Outrun the Sun


Angola ain't no place to be
It's for the lost that once were free
Fields of fear stretch far and wide
And the razor wire goes to the sky
I make my rounds through the fields all day
While the prisoners work their sins away
Shotgun perched upon my leg
On a 16 hand tall thorough bred
They sing ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
The devil holds the key
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
But to get down on your knees
Desperation in a troubled man
Spreads like poison in this land
I've seen it all from this saddle, son
Yeah, God rest your soul if you try to run
Oh now ash to ash and dust to dust
You're here because your dreams went bust
Best put that pick axe in the ground
Keep on moanin' that lonesome sound
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
The devil holds the key
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
But to get down on your knees
When the calm wind blew through that ol' screen door
You didn't hear their screams no more
Blood on the walls and across the floor
Lord, what did ya do?
You drug 'em out to that old oak tree
Dug a hole 'neath the tire swing
Wiped a tear, threw in the ring
And a sawed off shotgun too
You let 'em down in the cold hard ground
Side by side the way you found 'em
Fallin' rain didn't make a sound
And that's when you knew
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
The devil holds the key
There ain't no way to mend a broken heart
Ain't no way to mend a broken heart
But to get down on your knees
