Текст песни Devereaux

I never questioned the call of the father to his next of kin Pull me out of the fire, tell me you love me And throw me back in If I could ask for mercy If I could give up this life of sin The only one I've ever known Visit my parents and then go back home Been scanning the stations Searching for a song to fall back in love Came across one that shook me so sweetly when I was young Before I was rusted as this car Before the bitter moss consumed the brighter spots of a hopeful past Is it too much to ask for something that will last? Devereaux I always heard as my granddad’s name The first time that I felt its weight I cried and I said Devereaux In the space between here and you There's a kid who don't know what to do He waits in the silence to hear And inside of the tent, they're turning animals to men Here's a heart for guilt, here's a mind to think again Out of my garden! Out of my life! I wasn't born to be this, I was born to fight dragons With a cowl on my face With an auspicious birthday Out of my garden! Out of my life! Riverrun to the country I sail in a basket down the tides and wait For some gentle face to come peering down Through the wicker frame I think of my mother and her voice The dishes that she made It's too late to hope that the one who finds me now Will know her song and speak it out loud And she sang Devereaux! We all come from a long, long line Today you're walking here side by side with me and mine Oh, Devereaux! I always heard as my own dad's name The first time that I saw you take it, I cried and I said Devereaux! In the land beyond me and you A bunch of kids who don't know what to do We wait in the silence to hear Devereaux, we all wait in the silence Devereaux, we all wait in the silence
