Richard Buckner - Cradle To The Angel lyrics

rate me

From the thumper to the drinker,

The cradle to the angel

I'll be looking over you

Pass me up or lay me down

Once I wanted an explanation

But now I'd settle for just a sound

What's the name they call ones like us:

A bouquet of shadows in the evening sun

I sat up late and watched you sleep

And you said you'd waited thirty years for me

Another painter-over hardwood floor

And off the hallway, dear, another trail of tears

Out past the couple, and onto the street

I emptied my flask out at your feet

Austin are you calling

Atlanta are you there

Eupora are you dreaming

That you saw my darling dear
