《16 Days》歌词

[00:00:00] For sixteen days I've stayed in this bedroom

[00:00:44] And this Indian Summer It's made me sick

[00:00:52] I don't use the phone I don't write no letters

[00:00:59] All I can do is lay here and sweat

[00:01:12] And this wretched house It falls down around me

[00:01:20] The air has turned foul the walls have turned brown

[00:01:27] And they rot in the glow of a single light bulb

[00:01:35] Once there was paint now there's just dust

[00:01:48] And I don't know why I'm kept a prisoner here

[00:01:53] But there's no fear in these eyes

[00:02:03] And I don't know why no one talks to me

[00:02:09] But it's so clear when you try

[00:02:22] She had grace and a natural beauty

[00:02:30] She was a girl raised on a farm

[00:02:37] A constant source of disappointment

[00:02:45] To both of her folks and they don't know why

[00:02:58] 'Cause she had a love for a life she suspected

[00:03:05] Lay somewhere else beyond these crops

[00:03:13] But she couldn't speak and they wouldn't listen

[00:03:20] So her dreams lay fallow and hope turned to dust

[00:03:33] And I don't know why I'm kept a prisoner here

[00:03:39] But there's no fear in these eyes

[00:03:48] And I don't know why no one talks to me

[00:03:54] But it's so clear when you try

[00:05:51] We sit in the yard on broken down loungers

[00:05:58] Tryin' to grill food on a rusted out grill

[00:06:06] Drinkin' a beer and burnin' our fingers

[00:06:13] Watching the dog pee on the car

[00:06:26] And the trees all look sick now and the grass has turned brown

[00:06:34] And the bird bath's broken and the fence fallen down

[00:06:41] And the gate it hangs crooked on rusted out hinges

[00:06:49] And the heat never leaves when the sun sinks down

[00:07:02] And once we had meaning but now we're just hollow

[00:07:09] Once we felt pain but now we're just numb

[00:07:17] Once there were words but now there's just glances

[00:07:24] And once we were smart but now we're just dumb

[00:07:28] Just dumb

[00:07:37] And I don't know why I'm kept a prisoner here

[00:07:42] But there's no fear in these eyes

[00:07:52] And I don't know why no one talks to me

[00:08:10] But it's so clear when you try
