Mark Lanegan - Unbalanced Pieces lyrics

The sky is red, clouds are grey And copper moon, one day I'll tell you The threats are veiled, snowblind at first Unfurl the sails For heavens blue or dark uncertain waters Gone, now carry on Through violent seasons I call you mother, mother, mother In vain, absent chain The twilight's bleeding And the playing board has two unbalanced pieces No word is said, castle grey And sunday soon, one day I'll k** you The raining sheets batter the ground Unroll the streets And walk along on high uncertain wires Gone, now carry on Through seasick seasons I'm crawling mother, mother, mother In vain, absent frame The twilight's kneeling And the chessboard still has two unbalanced pieces Gone, now carry on Through violent seasons I call you mother, mother, mother In vain, absent chain The twilight's bleeding And the playing board has two unbalanced pieces Now carry on Through seasick seasons I'm crawling mother, mother, mother In vain, absent frame The twilight's kneeling And the chessboard still has two unbalanced pieces
