Lucinda Williams Words 歌词
Words
I would rather suffer sweet
silent solitude
Deathly defiant from drowning out
Filthy sounds stumbling,
ugly and cruel
Between the lips of your
beautiful mouth
Deep down within me words
move in phases
Frozen and still
until they decide
To melt and drip over
the pages
Until that moment
they live inside.
My words enjoy the
feel of the paper
Better than me,
lay with your consonants
Once they get going
they never waver
And they slip in between your if,
ands, and buts.
When my words are
hiding between the lines
Then i''''m afraid they
won''''t hear me call
What if they fail me
without a sign?
What if they hardly
surface at all?
Screaming and throwing
your weight around
My words choose
knowledge over politics
You can''''t kill my words .
they know no bounds
My words are strong and
they don''''t make me sick.
They still remain my
only companion
Boiling truth to the
very end
They''''ll never ever
completely abandon
Ever give up the paper
and the pen
