The Lives Of Famous Men - Carolina Boys Choir lyrics
Artist: The Lives Of Famous Men
album: Marigold Maxixe
Tried again to write honestly,
Dressed in my father's modesty, but
The jasmine in the leaves won't sing to me.
Dig my toes down into the earth,
Criticize, but for all it's worth, I
Never really had Indian feet, no, no.
A phone call home, a promise, a sigh
Carrying currents off South Carolina,
Thinking, "oh my god, what have I done?"
Casually re-crossing the state,
Humming along to audiotapes, but
Oh the kids won't want to hum along, no, no.
Patron saint's got a hand on the wheel,
This dalliance is dragging its heels, I've
Got an awful feeling about this.
You were always the better friend,
But if I've the chance to love you again, just
Say that you haven't outgrown me yet, no, no.
Dressed in my father's modesty, but
The jasmine in the leaves won't sing to me.
Dig my toes down into the earth,
Criticize, but for all it's worth, I
Never really had Indian feet, no, no.
A phone call home, a promise, a sigh
Carrying currents off South Carolina,
Thinking, "oh my god, what have I done?"
Casually re-crossing the state,
Humming along to audiotapes, but
Oh the kids won't want to hum along, no, no.
Patron saint's got a hand on the wheel,
This dalliance is dragging its heels, I've
Got an awful feeling about this.
You were always the better friend,
But if I've the chance to love you again, just
Say that you haven't outgrown me yet, no, no.
