Box elder 歌词

The federal express man was down on the driveway Out of his step van Cursing your name It wasn't the first time You changed his side mirror Into a mirrorless frame And though I know you are guilty of nothing Except for a strong will to live in the light You throw your seeds on the wind like a thistle Good night, Box Elder, good night I sat down in town At the bar full of elbows And a man from the county told me that time and again.... When you try to cut one, like the heads of the Hydra They grow back in a power of ten And though I know you are guilty of nothing Except for a strong will to live in the light You throw your seeds on the wind like a thistle Good night, Box Elder, good night And that man told me That from your tree They formed the cross on Calvary When the people cried, "crucify" And Pilate washed his hands A cloud of blue smoke will rise in the morning The engine will sputter And the chain...it will spin But here at my window, tonight it is quiet Except for the leaves in the wind And though I know you are guilty of nothing Except for a strong will to live in the light You throw your seeds on the wind like a thistle Good night, Box Elder, good night
