Sucker's Prayer - The Decemberists

作词：Colin Meloy

作曲：Colin Meloy

I was not ready for the road

I was so discontent to wear that heavy load

And so I got down on my knees

Made a sucker's prayer

Like Rimbaud to Baudelaire before

And when nobody did respond

I took my glasses off and went to find a pond

Stuffing rocks into the pockets of my pants

When I waded in

Those currents carried them away

I wanna love somebody but I don't know how

I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down

I wanna throw my body in the river and drown

I wanna love somebody but I don't know how

So if you're lost along the way

And if you're thinking that will always be the case

Won't you listen to my plea

You'll make a sucker's prayer

Just go and leave it that-a way

I wanna love somebody but I don't know how

I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down

I wanna throw my body in the river and drown

I wanna love somebody but I don't know how

I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
