The Three Of Us
(专辑: The Hands That Thieve - 2013)
I
will never defend the
men who make amends with any enemy's friends, I
will never pretend. There we were, the
three of us, The
thief, the
king and I. Finally, we were forced to see, We were equals in the
night. (Starry, starry night) Looking down between the
trees, And the
town we knew we had to leave. For what it's worth, We will walk the
Earth til we find the
things we seek. And the
king said: I
believe I'm a
non-believer now. I
was a
leader, but I
had to leave them all. No one will ever know the
things I
held inside, So let them go. Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god. I
will never defend the
men who make amends with any enemy's friends, I
will never pretend. I
will never bow down to another man even when everyone's saying I've sinned, I
will never repent. Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, Whoa. They will not protect us, we will fall. They will not defend us. We'll be left behind, we'll be left behind. I
never give a
damn about the
story's end, Or even how it all began. And the
one word that I'll seek is one that I
can tell myself. And it's a
long and winding road, But if you reap the
seeds you sow, You'll see you're really not alone. I
will never defend the
men who make amends with any enemy's friends, I
will never pretend. I
will never bow down to another man even when everyone's saying I've sinned, I
will never repent. [Drum, Bass, Guitar, Trombone breakdown] [Solos] There we were, the
three of us, The
priest, the
tramp, and I. Years ago, we had left to roam, But reunited on that night. (Starry, starry night) No one had to speak a
word, For we all knew what the
others learned. And everything that we ever did, Was but a
way to pass the
time. And the
priest said: I
believe I'm a
true believer now, I
was a
sinner, but I
came to see the
light. The
bum and me did not agree, but I
must confess of jealousy. Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god. [Ska beat, horn solos] I
will never defend the
men who make amends with any enemy's friends, I
will never pretend. I
will never bow down to another man even when everyone's saying I've sinned, I
will never repent.
