|
Jack and Edie lying across my bed |
|
Flying high like the spirits of the dead |
|
The living and the dead, the living and the dead |
|
Our Lady of |
|
Sorrows and the long dark night |
|
How many candles could |
|
I lightFor the living and the dead, the living and the dead? |
|
What's that black smoke rising |
|
Jack, is the world on fire? |
|
What's that distant singing, is it a heavenly choir? |
|
Of the living and the dead, the living and the dead |
|
I think about you |
|
Jack watching the |
|
TVAnd drinking booze, shame on you, shame on me |
|
But how can we help it there was no where else to go |
|
I sent Julie and |
|
Billy out on that long hard road |
|
On that long hard road, on that long hard road |
|
I'm just back from |
|
Mexico city |
|
I came back north to |
|
Texas to rest my weary head |
|
My true love is fresh from the battle field |
|
Sewing up the dying and carting off the dead |
|
My baby don't stand no fighting amongst the living or the dead |
|
What's that black smoke rising |
|
Jack, is the world on fire? |
|
What's that distant singing, is it a heavenly choir? |
|
Of the living and the dead, the living and the dead |
|
The living and the dead, the living and the dead |
|
The living and the dead, the living and the dead |
