The Low Anthem - Love and Altar lyrics

As the water finds the cracks Birds pick the highways clean Crucifix across my shoulder blades Got your name tattooed between So you say the root is dry As you flash the old-time camera And hide your songs of anguish In dying language Never saw no rainbow sign No meaning was I offered To love is to pay Lay your wealth upon the altar So we share a couple songs Here in the desert hotel While they're tearing up the highway Here to Santa Bell
