The Bitter Suite (Pájaro / Evil Eye / Tennessee Train) – Calexico

[Pájaro]
Hay sueños lo suficientemente salvajes para pasar el tiempo Ese pájaro muerto quiere alas pero no lo recuerda Pero no lo recuerda No lo recuerda No lo recuerda

[Tennessee Train]
My first mom laughed like she never had She dug a heel deep into the mountainside You know Grace, who gave me back a gold ring She always knew what was hers and what was mine I was only stumbling through her garden gate
Trains leave Tennessee, moaning as they roll away
My last dad was clean as he could ever be Leaning through a window, rubbing at his evil eye Last I heard, he saw it all for what it was There are dreams wild enough to pass the time Then again, there’s all we could trade for a hiding place
Trains leave Tennessee, moaning as they roll away
This dead bird wants the wings he can’t recall A weak preacher standing with a song to sing Who knows grace staring at a kitchen fire That’s the way I told her I would her anything Anything wasn’t enough to make her stay
