St. Louis Elegy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
And the dead of winter
Will cut you quick
These tears are liquor
And I've drunk myself sick
