A Night This Side of Dying Lyrics |
||
 I remember one young sister with rainbows in her eyesStanding on a corner with the afternoon`s supply She spoke of other places, perhaps a better road Then she asked if I could tell her where they kept the mother lode Like a night this side of dying Her day`s inside the dropper on the shelf When she hears her lifeline crying Not a thing you say can stop her When she just can`t stop herself I remember that July, the panic and the heat The savage shine of summer, the strychnine in the street The way they sold each other for a favor in glassine The best of friends sold brothers for a dime of quinine dreams Like a night this side of dying Her day`s inside the dropper on the shelf Like the shelter she`s been buying Not a thing I`ve got can save her When she just can`t save herself She just can`t save herself |
