Rabbit Will Run
de Iron & Wine
Last i saw mother, she rose from her chair
When they caught me i'd just finished combing my hair
'cause a rabbit will run
And the colt hasn't long with the mare
We've all learned the earth while we've carried the thrown
We dove under the rivers and under our clothes
And i still have a prayer
As sure as my settling bones
Last i saw mother, she covered my ears
When they caught me i offered the captain a beer
'cause a rabbit will run
And the lion has nothing to fear
We bricked up the garden and know what it means
And we've all kissed a virgin as if she were clean
And i still have a prayer
Despite all the colors i've seen
And judgment is just like a cup that we share
I'll jump over the wall and i'll wait for you there
We'll pass the weeds in our vision of things to come
We've all heard the rooster and all been denied
And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes
And i still have a prayer
A well-weathered word to the wise
Last i saw mother, she smelled like a rose
When they caught me, the captain, he opened my nose
'cause a rabbit will run
And the wind takes a bird where it blows
We've all traded lovers and woke up alone
And we clapped for the king though our fingers were cold
And i still have a prayer
'cause i love what i cannot control
Last i saw mother, she acted surprised
When they caught me, the captain, he cried like a child
'cause a rabbit will run
Good dogs together go wild
We've all envied grace at the end of the day
And we've armed all the children we thought we betrayed
And i still have a prayer
But too few occasions to pray
Judgment is just like a cup that we share
I'll jump over the wall and i'll wait for you there
We'll pass the weeds in our vision of things to come
And we've all found a reason for hiding a gun
And we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyone
And i still have a prayer
And so be it, i've done what i've done
Last i saw mother, she blew me a kiss
When they caught me, the cuffs cut the blood from my wrist
'cause a rabbit will run
And a pig has to lay in its piss
We've all given half to the hand in our face
We've all taken a stone from the holiest place
And i still have a prayer
And i've furthered the world in my way
