St. Francis

歌詞

(Verse) They're all throwing stones at the back of my home Kicking the dirt in the air Well I left to think while they're thinking I'm stoned Well I had no cause to be there And out of this town while I had something left Bury the fear in my head Well it's all just the same cause the city's just as bare It's full of people like me (Chorus) We've all run away Everyone wants but nobody needs Silver and gold Well everyone wants, but nobody needs [Interlude similar to verse] Well I ran to the woods and I preached to the birds St. Francis talking to me Well they said I'd find love in a pain I'd endure If I would just listen to him With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead Well I quietly listened to him teach But with tears in his eyes, he just looked straight through me I awkwardly waited for speech We've all run away Everyone wants but nobody needs Silver and gold Everyone wants, but nobody needs [Interlude w/ changed piano part] Once I was sure that this love was the truth Well I quickly spit in his face I returned to my home, friends and I, we threw stones Bragging that we knew the way [hummed chorus 1x until the end]
