Howlin Rain
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
These are not thieves come to take your ruby ring
2
They are not ghosts with tales too long
3
It's the sound of dancing of many legged things
4
That gather your tears from off the ground
5
Our home is a feast love moving from the land
6
We're swaying swamp reeds in the sand
7
It's a cold feeling that hangs about our bones
8
When we ride the death's head waters like leaves
9
Take my arrow, the last one I got
10
Wait for the wind to take your shot
11
Maybe tomorrow you'll leave another tombstone
12
Made of sand and moss
13
Here's my teeth, mama, do you want them back
14
To tear the woven web and wires that bind you?
15
I killed a man and I'd kill a country full
16
To keep the rusted boat beneath your feet
17
Our days are numbered too but not outnumbered yet
18
While I see you laughing at the sun
19
The stars lay on your naked skin, the moon was on your breast
20
When a hail of arrows fell upon us
21
Take my shell of buckshot the last one I got
22
Wait for the wind and take your shot
23
Maybe tomorrow we'll leave two sunken tombstones
24
With the silt and moss
25
Can you take aim at my enemies?
26
I can't see them anymore
27
I will fire blindly into the trees and hope I hit someone's god
28
Or three of some kind of ghost
29
These are our times, mama, made of blood and bone
30
Furious misfortune is upon us
31
We had a run of luck and ran it to the ground
32
It calls our lives from the darkness
33
I see you with burning eyes, burning with my tears
34
I hate, I hate to see your fear
35
I'll leave a hundred bodies rotting in the sun
36
And when my final bullet flies I'll be gone
37
I'll be with my love upon the Styx river
