"Beggar To Beggar" lyrics

"Beggar To Beggar"

Come in from the cold, so I'm told
If you lay your hat it becomes your home
You say one thing and I'll do the other

People leave like it's a removal
Still the dogs bark their disapproval
You say one thing and I'll do the other

A beggar to a beggar cried
I'll place two coins on your dead eyes
And I'll grieve the passing of a saint
For circumstance left life short and sweet

From left to right we'd hop and bounce
From wall to wall in that council house
You say one thing and I'll do the other

People leave like its a removal
Still the dogs bark their disapproval
You say one thing and I'll do the other

A beggar to a beggar cried
In no time, man, we'll be winding we'll be dying for
How'd we choose the righteous road
We surely end up dull and done
We're coming all done

The pebbles you kicked from the houses
They'd fall and they'd flow
The pebbles you kicked from the houses
They'd fall and they'd flow
The pebbles you kicked from the houses
They'd fall and they'd flow
Kick your heels in the clouds man
Roll man roll

A beggar to a beggar cried
I'll place two coins on your dead eyes
And I'll grieve the passing of a saint
For circumstance left our lives short and sweet
