lirik lagu saint anthony – jayber crow
well the mississippi’s mighty wound cut through the city of minneapolis
still saints singing hallelu, the city’s staunch and sanctimonious
o, saint paul, sing o, saint paul
you used to be a waterfall
eleven thousand years ago
one hundred seventy-five feet tall
and the words by which the valley took its shape were made by faith
a sacrifice of stone, and wat’ry patience of a saint
saint anthony, saint anthony, saint peter set stone at your feet
crawling on broken limestone knees toward martyrdom that waits upstream
timber, flour, and wool pray that you stay, pray that you stay
tip their dusty heads beneath your sacred shining spray
modern miracles beatify and canonize
but still you turn to run upriver where you’re sure to die
the eastman tunnel’s crumbling
the river’s swallowing everything we’re throwing in
army engineers robe you in steel, robe you in stone
bury you alive beneath the river’s bridled flow
father hennepin, have you not seen
throw your patron saint to find our lost saint anthony. (?)
whooooa!
