"Breath For The Boy" lyrics
"Breath For The Boy"
He opens his eyes
Breathes in his disguise
He wants to speak
Says he's been knocked out
Too many times
He clutched his heart
Each morning when the [?]
Exhaust creeps in
Bones just shattering
Fear poisoned him
Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy
The sweet one who tried for tough
Curly brown hair and chin to the wind
Counts all he lost, but he hides his wins
Not sue he'll get enough
He is praying for
All the world to be free again
'Cause he came in laughing
He sang so loud
They said 'quiet down'
Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy
Each dream an age
Each revelation reveals a new cage
Show them the man you could have been
If you weren't so full of rage
Give a breath
Give a breath
Give a breath for the boy
Give a breath for the boy

Rosie Carney - "sugar" Sweet sugar
I'm dead
Your body
Is my bread
Did you learn to love me?
To exist above me
Confession
I spoke
With you holding
My throat
I was made to want you
To belong below you
You're something to...
Aldous Harding - "Fever" Fever, when we met at hotel reception
Never, have I been so tired
You said, "You bet"
Guess we did what the other expected
Eleven, eleven days in the heat of the city
Together, I had stars coming...
Camp Cope - "The Screaming Planet" Sun watch the freeway for a hundred-thousand years
I saw the future, says "I haven't seen you since the last time you were here"
Somewhere I go, to be alone
To feel at home on a screaming planet...
Iris DeMent - "To My Poems" You led me into the trackless woods
My falling stars, my dark endeavor
You were bitterness and lies
A bill of goods, a bribe
You weren't a consolation...
Karen Dalton - "Ribbon Bow" If I had a ribbon bow
To hide my hair
If I had a fancy sash
My own true love would find me fair
My red shoes would go dancing
Whe'er my fancy chose
I'd lark about the sidewalk
And wear them foreign...
