Cover Up The Sun - Counting Crows[00:00:00]
Colorado passes by[00:00:08]
Like writing on a wall[00:00:10]
Headed eastward down[00:00:12]
To New Orleans[00:00:13]
Dipping into Texas[00:00:16]
As the stars are fading out[00:00:18]
And there's still a lot of country[00:00:20]
In between[00:00:21]
When I left California[00:00:24]
I was 29 years old[00:00:25]
And the world just spun me around[00:00:28]
Now I watched Louisiana scroll[00:00:32]
Across the window pane[00:00:34]
And I'm facing the direction[00:00:36]
I am bound[00:00:37]
Cover up the sun [00:00:40]
Let the river run[00:00:44]
Make that water run[00:00:48]
And wash me away[00:00:51]
Me Clifton and the king of cats[00:00:54]
Are sat down in the road[00:00:56]
Pedro said boys [00:00:58]
We're three of kind[00:00:59]
He said I sat with river rats[00:01:02]
And I hung my hat with diplomats[00:01:04]
Had four brothers once upon a time[00:01:06]
He said they tore the country[00:01:10]
Far away from the Rio Grande[00:01:12]
And the road just wore them down[00:01:14]
So they bought a house[00:01:18]
Beside a lake [00:01:19]
Outside of New Orleans[00:01:20]
And they stared in the direction[00:01:22]
Of the escalating sound[00:01:24]
Cover up the sun [00:01:26]
Let the river run[00:01:30]
Take this good man's son[00:01:34]
And wash him away[00:01:37]
Sister indeciperable is talking[00:01:42]
To a wall[00:01:45]
Back in New York city [00:01:47]
She's a queen[00:01:48]
Well resurrector Genuflect [00:01:50]
She saves the one she can't protect[00:01:52]
Keeps the chapel pressed [00:01:54]
If not Sistine[00:01:56]
She drinks Absinthe mixed[00:01:58]
With Kerosene to keep[00:01:59]
Herself upright[00:02:00]
But the word still breaks her down[00:02:02]
If you can't keep your[00:02:06]
Sh*t together[00:02:07]
When God is on your side[00:02:08]
What chance do you have[00:02:10]
When he's not around [00:02:11]
Cover up the sun [00:02:14]
Make that water run[00:02:18]
Let the river come[00:02:22]
And wash me away[00:02:25]
People of the Mardi Gras [00:02:31]
In their Tuesday best[00:02:32]
Waiting for the South to rise again[00:02:34]
Children of Geronimo[00:02:38]
Grieving for the West[00:02:40]
Feather dressed[00:02:42]
And marching their refrain[00:02:43]
All in the dark of Armstrong Park[00:02:46]
The marching bands ascend[00:02:48]
But they never make a sound [00:02:50]
Just a quiet prayer for communist square[00:02:54]
The silent congregation there [00:02:56]
The night to rest our eyes in[00:02:58]
We just look to the horizon for a change[00:03:00]
Cover up the sun [00:03:04]
Let the river run[00:03:08]
I pray the water come[00:03:12]
And wash me away[00:03:15]
Carved in the sky [00:03:18]
I'll make that diesel fly[00:03:22]
Come on just lay me down to die[00:03:26]
And just take me away[00:03:29]
Yeah[00:03:32]
