Martha Wainwright - Four Black Sheep lyrics

Get in the car We're late for the gig But don't go too fast It's been snowin' since 10 am And we'll never be this free again Crossin' the bridge Over the Gatineau To the side that I know Where the light becomes strange We'll never be this free again On our way home Singin' the songs That we learned on our mother's knee Four black sheep in need Tryin' or dyin' to be freed Jesse's been drinkin' again and again He won't believe, he can't believe We can see right through his soul Mom and Dad They're on their way They know these roads They've been leading a lonely life Black sheep, they too were born in the night And we'll meet at the lodge To s** on life and scream up at the sky That we don't feel the same And we'll never be this free again May walked away in the snow Sayin' she was through. And Frere Jacques would never woke to ring the bell To tell us what we already knew That out there in the freezing night, We would not be all right Four black sheep Travelin' at different speeds Angry at the world Losing the way in the cold, deep snow Black on white it glowed We would never be this free again We would never be this free again After the show, Back on the road to Montreal There were diamonds piercing our eyes And the snow piling up on either side Jesse took the wheel There was an appeal to stop the ride But we were just four black sheep in the night Trying to hold on for our lives And we never made it home Spinnin'out on the road, We took to the sky Where we were finally free for the last time Red on black on white in the night I said, red on black on white in the night I said, red on black on white in the night...
