St Louis Elegy Lyrics - Blues Funeral - Mark Lanegan

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
