Simon Joyner - Sinner's Song lyrics

I need a roof to support a fiddler The songs I'd hear if he were here The sun turned red and burned the house down Burn it down sun until it disappears I need a drink to sink my teeth in The stories I'd tell if I could yell At the moon who came down to sweep up the ashes Sweep them up moon put them on your mantle You say you need someone to hold on to your dreams Well I'm afraid I'll have to refer you to my chambermaid She changes pillowcases in the hotel of disgrace It's enough to make a sinner sad the way these dreams all go unhad I need a song to serenade the darkness And a silver throat to bring her to her knees I've partaken of all of the pomegranate And I'm ready to watch the whole earth freeze I need a lover to feed me poison The pain I caused would be redeemed And the devil could hover over my casket And curls his mustache for eternity You say you need someone to hold on to your dreams Well I'm afraid I'll have to refer you to my chambermaid She changes pillowcases in the hotel of disgrace It's enough to make a sinner sad the way these dreams all go unhad
