The world ain’t big enough for lovers who run Blood ain’t thick enough for mothers and sons She can’t drink quick enough to have a little fun If that ain’t sad enough, just wait until I'm done The water’s rising, what doesn’t burn will drown Or freeze in little boxes under southern border towns All the men dying with more than they can spend Ain’t it just enough, the stiffest mind to bend We can’t hold it all Our hands are just too small The best we can do is break up time And keep it on a narrow line The women wake at night and wait for them to come All thosе monsters long since dead and gonе Cold grey fishing towns, I remember them the same Each and every street sign bedeviled with their names We can’t hold it all Our hands are just too small The best we can do is break up time And keep it on a narrow line Just keep it on a narrow line
