Revelation Blues - The Tallest Man On Earth

I was more than just a coward

I was handsome too

I felt nothing when your flood came down

Holding fines that made me wonder

If the lights were wrong

With my hands that never touched no ground

When your talent is in numbers

Of the many times you’re gone

I could lie I don’t give up forgiving

But sometimes it’s just roses

Dying too young

As I’m fencing up the hours

In the fields of red

While you think I’m on a loveless stray

In the letters from the lovers

In the land gone wrong

Explanations always written late

When your talent curse the framing

All the crying you heard sung

I could lie I don’t care 'bout what’s missing

But sometimes it’s just roses

Dying too young

Your train of thoughts is always passing here

With its falling paint, and its broken gears

It’s the damn revelation blues when you see the path

And you know you won’t be the last

Oh Lord

Oh Lord

I was more than just a terror, I was crying too

But you showed me in the gusts between

That a wind is sometimes broken, and its flying path

That’s no meaning, nor a ghost within

When your talent is in hiding

That your feeling is always wrong

I always want to bring you something

But sometimes it’s just roses

Dying too young

When your talent is in hiding

That your feeling’s always wrong

And I always want to bring you something

But sometimes they’re just roses

Dying too young
