The Bitter Suite (Pájaro / Evil Eye / Tennessee Train)

Lyrics

Hay sueños lo suficientemente salvajes
 ♪
 Para pasar el tiempo
 Ese pájaro quiere alas
 Pero no lo recuerda
 Pero no lo recuerda
 No lo recuerda
 No lo recuerda
 ♪
 My first mom laughed like she never had
 She dug a heel deep into the mountainside
 You know Grace, who gave me back a gold ring
 She always knew what was hers and what was mine
 I was only stumbling through her garden gate
 Trains leave Tennessee
 Moaning as they roll away
 ♪
 My last dad was clean as he could ever be
 Leaning through a window, rubbing at his evil eye
 Last I heard, he saw it all for what it was
 There are dreams wild enough to pass the time
 Then again, there's all we could trade for a hiding place
 Trains leave Tennessee
 Moaning as they roll away
 ♪
 This dead bird wants the wings he can't recall
 A weak preacher standing with a song to sing
 Who knows Grace, staring at a kitchen fire
 That's the way I told her I would give her anything
 Anything wasn't enough to make her stay
 Trains leave Tennessee
 Moaning as they roll away
 Roll away
 ♪
 Roll away
 ♪
 Life is bittersweet
