| Billy Bragg and Wilco – Remember the Mountain Bed Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
A heartbreaking tune about a lost love. Maybe she left, maybe died, who knows... "Your shape and form is dim but plain, there on our mountain bed / I see my life was brightest where you laughed and laid your head" But life goes on... "My loneliness healed, my emptiness filled, I walk above all pain / Back to the breast of my woman and child to scatter my seeds again" |
