"Beggar's Blues" lyrics

"Beggar's Blues"

Night train, silver moon
You ask me why I'm flying
To float on ashen wing
To choke on dust and feather
Oh moon, you are a liar
It's right we should pretend
And lie with one another
It's right we should be twins
For I have loved no other

Look for me, baby
I'm dragging loneliness and it's ten-miles long
I thought I heard you scream, baby
In the wheels of a train that crawls when I don't want to go
'Cause you forget me when I'm gone
Look for me, baby
Whenever ice is glistening upon the glass
Did you ever find your dream, baby?
Well, God knows I never held mine close enough
I watched them slip away like this

I've been from one end of this street to the other
Now I want the gifts you promised me, lover
Look for me, baby
Crow flying by, we're sister and brother
Death is the kiss we send to one another
Look for me, baby
Well I'm dragging loneliness and it's ten-miles long
I thought I heard you scream, baby
In the wheels of a train that crawls and I don't want to go
'Cause you forget me when I'm gone

Night train, silver moon
You ask me why am I flying
To float on ashen wing
To choke on dust and feather
My dreams will go no further
Won't calm my violent river
Oh guardian of peace
Let the beggar walk in the winter

Look for me, baby
Look for me, baby
Look for me, baby
Look for me, baby

That's all
