《The Hand That Held Me Down》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hand That Held Me Down - Two Gallants

[00:01:00] Oh the razor in your apple the affection of your glove

[00:01:07] The prison of your company the snake oil of your love

[00:01:14] The heights to which you drag me just to hurl your scorn

[00:01:22] The trumpets play the livelong day but they blow so forlorn

[00:01:32] Did you hold the hand that held me down

[00:01:39] Did you laugh at my expense

[00:01:45] When there's rust upon your ragged crown

[00:01:53] Who will stand at your defense

[00:01:59] And when I unveiled my weakness on your rodeo of tears

[00:02:06] You stood there so vacantly your fingers in your ears

[00:02:13] And you left by the morning with all that's left to steal

[00:02:20] But every time you say farewell there's breadcrumbs at your heels

[00:02:30] Did you kiss the hand that held me down

[00:02:37] Was your kindness just pretense

[00:02:44] When there's no one left for you to clown

[00:02:51] Who will stand at your defense

[00:03:25] But it's ashes Lord it's ashes soon we all fall down

[00:03:32] You take your place among the saints make not a single sound

[00:03:39] And hills that held our childhood

[00:03:43] The flowers grow there still

[00:03:47] You lay beneath them pushing weeds

[00:03:49] And I guess you always will

[00:03:56] Could you be the hand that held me down

[00:04:03] When I was sick with common sense

[00:04:10] And now your statuettes are all torn down

[00:04:17] There's no one left you to lean against

[00:04:23] And ever sence you epitaph was spattered on my wall

[00:04:30] No one comes to call

[00:04:32] They can't stand the stench

[00:04:37] But I still sing your praises every time the curtain calls

[00:04:44] The burden on me falls

[00:04:47] Yeah I alone stand at your defense
