Testo di 'Appalachian Wine' di Eleventyseven

They both met in the midnight sky
Got lost in each other's eyes
Then threw away the map and lost the key
God sent them the first two kids
One named Fire, the other one Wind
With a note that floated down for them to read
It said: You asked what it was like up here for Me

Mother Earth and Father Time
Fell in love over Appalachian wine
Hit a rough spell and almost lost their minds
Raised a little hell before they fell in line

Fire came out with a restless soul
That only got worse as he got older
'Til finally he got too hot to tame
Time said: Son I know it's hard but
You're breaking your Momma's heart
And Fire looked up through tears that made the rain
He said: Why is it everything I love I set aflame?

Mother Earth and Father Time
Fell in love over Appalachian wine
Hit a rough spell and almost lost their minds
Raised a little hell before they fell in line

Wind was born to the open sky with a
Bad temper and a wandering eye
That kept him on the run for most his days
Earth said: Listen, hear my child, see
I used to run that wild
'Cause it's hard to put a finger on the pain
But son you can't outrun a thing like shame

Then Time and Earth got on their knees
And prayed: Dear God, oh can't You see?
The Fire's too hot
The Wind's too cold
And loving them is gonna kill us both'
Then God reached down and took their hands
Dried their tears, and smiled and said
That's kind of what it's like up here for Me
Yeah, loving them will cost you everything

Mother Earth and Father Time
Fell in love over Appalachian wine
Hit a rough spell and almost lost their minds
Raised a little hell before they fell in line
