LYRICS
We lie here and we lie here awaiting the return
Of the passion that has left us with the patience we’ve learned
Sinking in the ashes of the red night’s final swing
The sun fades the color of everything
We lie here and we lie here without much to say
In our silent sanctuary we call it a day
Seasons change quietly winter whispers spring
The sun fades the color of everything.
Me and you, we wait it out it might be ‘round the bend
Every time we think it’s gone it comes back again
We hold on to each other but to our faith we cling
The sun fades the color of everything
We lie here and we lie here waiting for a sign
You follow yours and I follow mine
Sleeping with our backs turned floating off on polished wings
The sun fades the color of everything
Me and you, we wait it out it might be ‘round the bend
Every time we think it’s gone it comes back again
We hold on to each other but to our faith we cling
The sun fades the color of everything

LYRICS
Mama said she don’t give a damn what those people say
Cane smoke can’t be good for you day after day
Every year at harvest time when the black smoke filled the sky
She’d pick me up and take me home and make me stay inside
From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields
All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain
A dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane
Christmas on the bayou, midnight come and gone
Driving past the sugar mill and all the lights are on
The parking lot is full of trucks I can see the furnace glow
Everybody’s working overtime, it’s a good job, even though
From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields
All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain
A dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane
First came the sugar cane, then came Thibodaux
Cane sugar built this town, cane sugar paved these roads
They burn the leaves to harvest cash, money for the company
Money makes the world go round, money, money, money
From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields
All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain
A dirty dark at daybreak burning, burning
The soot and ash are falling like a dark and deadly snow
The air is full of poison to the Gulf of Mexico
Dirty air, dirty laundry dirty money dirty rain
A dirty deal with the devil, burning the sugar cane")

LYRICS
Jagged edges broken parts
Where you end and where I start
Got so tangled up in you
I can’t tell false from true
You woke up inside a cage
I woke up consumed with rage
A million miles from our first kiss
How does love turn into this?
A stranger showed up in your eyes
Hard as steel, cold as ice
I tried and tried but I could not break through
There’s two of you and one don’t feel
And I don’t know which one is real
Loving you has left me black and blue
I can’t tell false from true
Where’d you go where are you now?
Can you feel my heart somehow?
Still so full of love you
But it can’t tell false from true
A stranger showed up in your eyes
Hard as steel, cold as ice
I tried and tried but I could not break through
There’s two of you and one don’t feel
And I don’t know which one is real
Loving you has left me black and blue
I can’t tell false from true
I can’t tell false from true")
