Mark Lanegan - Riding The Nightingale Lyrics






Dyin' mama barely breathin' in a bed of nails
To wander through the ruin smokin' and pale
Came upon an angel and a nightingale
Back where the darkness comes
Between the earth and skies above
Dead weight on my body's bones
I think I dug too deep a hole
Think I dug too deep
a hole

Better run for cover babe you better hide
Don't do no good to wait til time decides
Time decides
Time
Time
I need a little more time
Riding on my nightingale
So many years to, to ride
Hiding on my nightingale, around my heart

Climbing down the stairs at last
I wouldn't touch me right
You're too proud and I'm too scared
And I'm neither here nor there
It's only fear
Well open up the doors
And let me breathe that air

Better run for cover babe you better hide
Just don't do to wait til time decides
Time decides
Time
Time
I need a little more time

Mama I'm gonna cry now
Cry, I'm gonna cry now
Oh you're makin' me cry now
Cry, I'm gonna cry now
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
I'm gonna cry
Cry
I'm gonna die cryin'

Better run for cover babe you'd better hide
Just don't to wait til time decides
Tied around my nightingale
So many years to, to hide
Fly my nightingale
Around my heart
Who's riding on my nightingale [7x]

    Si Blues Saraceno es un pionero del dark country, entonces Mark Lanegan es un pionero del dark blues. Temazo.

    Dyin' mama barely breathin' in a bed of nails
    To wander through the ruin smokin' and pale
    Came upon an angel and a nightingale
    Back where the darkness comes
    Between the earth and skies above
    Dead weight on my body's bones
    I think I dug too deep a hole
    Think I dug too deep
    A hole

    Better run for cover babe you better hide
    Don't do no good to wait til time decides
    Time decides
    Time 
    Time
    I need a little more time
    Riding on my nightingale
    So many years to, to ride
    Hiding on my nightingale, around my heart

    Climbing down the stairs at last 
    I wouldn't touch me right
    You're too proud and I'm too scared
    And I'm neither here nor there
    It's only fear
    Well open up the doors 
    And let me breathe that air

    Better run for cover babe you better hide
    Just don't do to wait til time decides
    Time decides
    Time 
    Time
    I need a little more time

    Mama I'm gonna cry now
    Cry, I'm gonna cry now
    Oh you're makin' me cry now
    Cry, I'm gonna cry now
    Oh, no, no, no, no, no
    I'm gonna cry
    Cry
    I'm gonna die cryin'

    Better run for cover babe you'd better hide
    Just don't to wait til time decides
    Tied around my nightingale
    So many years to, to hide
    Fly my nightingale
    Around my heart
    Who's riding on my nightingale
    Who's riding on my nightingale
    Who's riding on my nightingale
    Who's riding on my nightingale
    Who's riding on my nightingale
    Who's riding on my nightingale
    Who's riding on my nightingale
    Who's riding on my nightingale

    Dyin' mama barely breathin' in a bed of nails
    To wander through the ruin smokin' and pale
    Came upon an angel and a nightingale
    Back where the darkness comes
    Between the earth and skies above
    Dead weight on my body's bones
    I think I dug too deep a hole
    Think I dug too deep
    a hole

    Mark Lanegan is the best song writer and the best male vocalist God ever created on earth !
