If Only If Only The Woodpecker Sighs Song Lyrics
… The old man’s been stealin’She’s holdin’ a grievance for hundred-odd yearsWe all keep believin’That history repeats itself year after yearHow I fear that the future is worseWe have to give in to a hundred-year curseSweat in the sun like we’re diggin’ a graveDig deep enough and our fortune is saved–
… “If only, if only, ” the woodpecker sighs“The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies”As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonelyHe cries to the moo-oo-oon, “If only, if only”
… Chasin’ the skirt of a beautiful wifeYou make mistakes and it’s my back that breaksAnd forever my past steals my lifeTo submission I’m beat, but there’s hope beneath these feetBlisters and blood and the sun makes you blindDon’t let it eat ya, it can’t help but be kind‘Cause you know what’s important with your back to the wallYou can break metal chains when your friends don’t let you fall
… “If only, if only, ” the woodpecker sighs“The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies, “As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonelyHe cries to the moo-oo-oon, “If only, if only”
… I’m a sword but I find myself bluntThat is no use when i’m fighting my history, fighting my historyI have no blade, I’m more like a featherThat is no use when I’m fighting my history, fighting my historyI have no blade, I’m more like a featherBut I can’t fly away without fighting myself
… “If only, if only, ” the woodpecker sighs“The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies, “As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonelyHe cries to the moo-oo-oon, “If only, if only”“If only, if only, ” the woodpecker sighs“The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies”As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonelyHe cries to the moo-oo-oon, “If only, if only”
