Letra de Pretty Mouth and Green Eyes

She’s a good, honest woman full of class and decency, it covers everything she does
And he’s a passionate man with an artistic hand, he got sick, left her a widow with no one to love
Oh to breathe, to breathe in the brevity of things, the finality of peaceful sleep
Oh to believe, to believe, this can all be cured with time
But You swear there’s something there to reconcile, to reconcile
Good God! If we’re not alive then You’re all we’ve got!
We forgot the rainclouds took from the sea to make their drops
Dear God! If we’re not dead then You’re all we’ve got!
But my God, we’re not the eyes to see or the feet to wash
And He was the lens I saw everything through
I looked upon her a wreck and a mother of two
And I am a bastard, I am a bastard with an awful tongue
But I was that way long before I was a fatherless son
Oh to breathe, to breathe in the finality of things, oh the brevity of peaceful sleep
Oh to believe, to believe this can all be cured with time
And You swear, you swear there’s something there to reconcile!
But I don’t see it
You said death is a broken seed and it gives birth to a living tree
Your banner over her, over me, is love
And if He transcends all the above, when do You restore us?
Good God! If we’re not alive then You’re all we’ve got
We forgot the rainclouds took from the sea to make their drops
Oh God, if we not, if we aren’t dead then You’re all we’ve got
Oh God, we don’t have eyes to see or any feet to wash
