Brown Bird - Danger and Dread lyrics
[Brown Bird - Danger and Dread lyrics]
Come on baby let me take your troubles away
Some mean old mama’s got your head
All in a horrible way
Still for all your cryin’ and all your pain
You’re just the sweetest little woman that
I’ve seen in my day
So come on pretty mama let
Me take your troubles away
I’ve heard you wake up cryin’ from
The evils lyin’ under our bed
You say there’s no use tryin’ to protect
You from the danger and dread
Though this world is made of fearsome
Beasts that bark and bite
We were born to put these creatures
Through one hell of a fight
May we feast upon the flesh of
Any fever that befalls you tonight
Soon her sides will split wide open
We shall feast when darkness falls
Sing until our jaws are broken
Heed the blackened water’s call
Lay down your burdens don’t you let
Them drag you into the ground
I know you’re hurtin’ but there’s plenty
Of your pain to go ‘round
Lord knows that everybody’s got
A cross to bear and I see no use in
Tryin’ to contrast and compare
There’s always someone being slaughtered by a
Bigger stack of splinters somewhere
If a day should break in anger
Patience weak and temper strong
Put our able hands to labor
We will work through what went wrong
If a day should break in anger
Patience weak and temper strong
Put our able hands to labor
We will work through what went wrong
Some mean old mama’s got your head
All in a horrible way
Still for all your cryin’ and all your pain
You’re just the sweetest little woman that
I’ve seen in my day
So come on pretty mama let
Me take your troubles away
I’ve heard you wake up cryin’ from
The evils lyin’ under our bed
You say there’s no use tryin’ to protect
You from the danger and dread
Though this world is made of fearsome
Beasts that bark and bite
We were born to put these creatures
Through one hell of a fight
May we feast upon the flesh of
Any fever that befalls you tonight
Soon her sides will split wide open
We shall feast when darkness falls
Sing until our jaws are broken
Heed the blackened water’s call
Lay down your burdens don’t you let
Them drag you into the ground
I know you’re hurtin’ but there’s plenty
Of your pain to go ‘round
Lord knows that everybody’s got
A cross to bear and I see no use in
Tryin’ to contrast and compare
There’s always someone being slaughtered by a
Bigger stack of splinters somewhere
If a day should break in anger
Patience weak and temper strong
Put our able hands to labor
We will work through what went wrong
If a day should break in anger
Patience weak and temper strong
Put our able hands to labor
We will work through what went wrong
