Bright Eyes Know When But A Days Gonna Come Lyrics

Know When But A Days Gonna Come Lyrics

Well is it true what I heard about the son of god
Did he come to save did he
come at all
And if I dried his feet with my dirty hair
Would he make me
clean again

They say the don’t know when but a days gonna
come
When there won’t be a moon and there won’t be a sun
It
will just go black it will just go back
To the way it was before

I
knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride
And every man wanted her yeah and
so did I
Yeah and so did I but she up and died
In a fit of
vanity

Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns
And they will
kill a man for what his fathers done
But what my father did you know it
don’t mean shit
I’m not him

And you think I need some
discipline well I’ve had my share
No I’ve been sent to my room
I’ve been sat in a chair
And I held my tongue I didn’t plug my
ears
No I got a good talkin’ to

Now I don’t know why
but I still try to smile
When they talk at me like I’m just a
child
Well I’m not a child
No I am much younger than
that

But now I’ve read some books and I’ve grown quite
brave
If I could just speak up I think I would say
That there is no truth
there is only you
And what you make the truth

So I’ll just sing
my songs and I’ll pass a hat (?)
And then I’ll leave your town
and I’ll never look back
No I don’t look back because the road
is clear
And laid out ahead of me

Now I’ll get home I’ll
meet my friends at a favorite bar
We’ll get some lighter heads for our
heavy hearts
And we’ll share a drink yeah we’ll share out
fears
And they’ll know how I love them – I’m nothing
without their love

Now I don’t know when but a days gonna
come
When there won’t be a moon and there won’t be a sun
It
will all go black it will all go back to the way 
It’s supposed to
be

Well is it true what they say about the son of god
Did he die for
us did he die at all
And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold to you
Which
one of us would be the foolish one – which one of us would be the
fool

Could you please start explaining you know I need some
understanding
Could you go and start explaining you know I wanna understand
