Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river,
with a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John
'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun,
and it's making big waves

Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains
Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou
So the powers that be left me here to do all the thinking
And I just turned twenty-two
I was wondering what to do
And the closer they got,
The more those feelings grew

Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
He told me, 'Red means run, Son, numbers add up to nothing'
But when that first shot hit the dock, I saw it coming
Raised the rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black and my face flash in the sky

Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Just think of me as one you never figured,
to fade away so young
with so much left undone
Remember me to my love
I know I'll miss her


Mirror lyrics:

I know I'll miss her
Remember me to my love
with so much left undone
to fade away so young
Just think of me as one you never figured,
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Shelter me from the powder and the finger

Then I saw black and my face flash in the sky
Never stopped to wonder why
Raised the rifle to my eye
But when that first shot hit the dock, I saw it coming
He told me, 'Red means run, Son, numbers add up to nothing'
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring

The more those feelings grew
And the closer they got,
I was wondering what to do
And I just turned twenty-two
So the powers that be left me here to do all the thinking
Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou
Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains

and it's making big waves
It's got numbers on the side and a gun,
I hope they didn't come to stay
And it's less than a mile away
'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
I think you'd better call John
with a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river,

Popular Songs:
missed the boat

bye bye na

les coeurs brãƒâ»lãƒâ©s

ma gueule

for the streets

it only hurts for a little while

good thing

desire

down yonder

people get ready

the golden ratio

creer en ti

ti prendo e ti porto via

i surrender

enslaved

there's a new moon over my shoulder

captain jack

team theme

can't behave

a change is gonna come
