Testo di St. Louis Elegy

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 I'd have drunk myself sick Woman, are you home? A house of cards, a frame of bones Here I am earthly bound Said hallelujah I'm going down And the river jordan is deep and wide I think I see forever across on the other side 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 I've drunk myself sick And the dead of winter will cut you quick These tears are liquor and I've drunk myself sick
