Lion Tamer
Unraveling Emotions: Damien Jurado's Lion Tamer Tale
Lyrics
We said goodbye a year ago
We parted ways a year ago
We sat within the farmhouse
We were together in the farmhouse
So you know, don't you?
Confirming awareness or understanding
I went to the house alone
I visited the house alone
The power out, no telephone
No power, no phone connection
You know, you'll know
Reiteration of awareness or understanding
The gun in the drawer
A gun stored in the drawer
The long distance call
A distant phone call
A story to tell
A narrative to share
Patience drifts into the sound
Patience merges with the surrounding noise
You are nothing to me now
You hold no significance for me now
I need time to figure out
Need time to comprehend
Save us now before we drown
Request for help before facing destruction
Hello, goodbye I said last we met
Formal greeting and farewell from our last meeting
I'll be easy to forget
I will be easily forgotten
You know, you'll know
Reiteration of awareness or understanding
An empty beer, the sealing broke
An empty beer and a broken seal
The saddest song we ever wrote
The saddest song composed together
You'll know, don't you?
Confirming awareness or understanding
It's all for the best
Assurance that everything is for the best
It's not what it seems
Reality is different from appearances
The gun in the drawer
A gun stored in the drawer
The long distance call
A distant phone call
A story to tell
A narrative to share
Patience drifts into the sound
Patience merges with the surrounding noise
You are nothing to me now
You hold no significance for me now
I need time to figure out
Need time to comprehend
Save us now before we drown
Request for help before facing destruction
