Hopeless Tender
Lyricist:Charles Stokes Urmston
Here in the old country she Grew up just as they said Trying to make up for what was missing As the land faded to red
Here, in the old country, hair falls Coarsely round their necks Having your wit about you Can hurt more than it protects
So let the sugar cane ashes Fall to your feet Let it pile up around you 'Til your in it waist deep
And when it all changes And the harvest is large Let it pile up to your shoulders That dealt all them scars
With every fiber of his muscle He bare down on her back The cane would rip the air of its breath And turned the sun black
She fall down to her knees With out so much a whisper Please save the child Who knows not what she dreams Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Red moon turns a red horizon Words burning to leave the tongue
Here in the old country moon It turns a blood red A warning to all those Who dare to forget
But burning of cane fires Gives us the winters keep And a barricade of burning tires For those who dared to sleep
So let the sugar cane ashes Fall to your feet Let them pile up around you 'Til your in it waist deep
And when it all changes And the harvest is large Let it pile up to your shoulders That dealt all them scars
Red moon turns a red horizon Words burnin' to leave the tongue Red moon turns a red horizon Words burnin' to leave the tongue
