Lyle Lovett - Lungs Lyrics
Well won't you lend your lungs to me
Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
Up the time that's passing
And breath I'll take and breath I'll give
Stand among the ones that live
In lonely indecision
Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool it's only moonlight
And if you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
Salvation sat and crossed herself
Called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers
Jesus was an only son
And love his only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues
And dirty up the doorstep
And I for one and you for two
Ain't got the time for outside
Just keep your injured looks to you
We'll tell the world that we tried

Lyle Lovett Lungs Comments
Hate to say it, but if this song needs to be screamed, Steve Earle ' s cover on the CD "Townes" takes it there.
We tell the world that we tried...
Better than Towns
.. not being disrespectful but lyle and steve did this song amazing justice
Steve Earle is an ugly fuck.
what was the name of this program
Not 100% sure, but it looks like Austin City Limits
Yes Austin City Limits, a tribute to Townes after he passed
Why is there a black poodle lying in front of Steve at 1:40?
Thank you Lyle Lovett and Steve Earl for keeping the fire of Townes Van Zandt burning.
Awesome....
I think Townes would've loved this. Great cover by two legends.
I don't think so. And not because of the "one and only" per se.
This is a great duet- Lyle Lovett is such a great musician and sings this song perfectly- but no one left living can sing "Lungs" with the emotion Steve Earle puts into it. Steves cover of this song is earth shattering.
Absolutely killer... dead-on... perfect.
This is brilliant, thanks so much for posting it.
