State Radio - Hopless Tender lyrics

rate me

Here in the old country she

Grew up just as they said

Trying to make up for what was missing

As the land faded to red

Here in the old country hair falls coarsely round their necks

Having your wits about you

Can hurt more than it protects

So let the sugar cane ashes

Fall to your feet

Let it pile up around you

'Till your in it waist deep

And when it all changes

And the harvest is large

Let it pile up to your shoulders that dealt all them scars

With every fiber of his muscle

He bare down on her back

The cane would rip the air of its breath

And turned the sun black

She fall down to her knees

Down so much a whisper please save the child

We know now when she dreamed

(Refrain)

Red moon turns a red horizon

What's burning to leave the tongue

Here in the old country moon

And turns a blood red

A warning all those

Who dare to forget

But burning of cane fires

Gives us the winters keep

And a barricade of burning tires

For those who dared to sleep

So let the sugar cane ashes fall to your feet

Let them pile up around you till your in it waist deep

And when it all changes and the harvest is large

Let it pile up to your shoulders that dealt all them scars

(Refrain)

Red moon turns a red horizon

What's burning to leave the tongue

Red moon turns a red horizon

What's burning now? leader tongue?
