I don't hear nothing but the sound of me breathing
|
Maybe just a night-tap, cricket or the slide of a friendly wind
|
And I don't feel nothing but the sand under my feet
|
I'm leaving the straight-press for awhile
|
I'm leaving the strain and the city lights
|
|
Rosemary taught me the way
|
To take it off and lay it down
|
And leave all the fighters on the edge of town
|
With their ringing cells and their slamming doors
|
Just me and my sandals walking moons from more
|
And life will rock you but you let it roll
|
Cause I think all this thinking's rushing me old
|
And here, the best I can do is dream of momma's casserole
|
|
I grew up in a small town, soon as I could, I ran out
|
Feeling might tight, top down and this dreaming needed some room
|
But somewhere on the city clock, a dreaming girl forgot
|
That sometimes, the pace of a rocking chair
|
Is good to slow down, reminisce the air
|
|
Rosemary taught me the way
|
To take it off and lay it down
|
Leave all the fighters on the edge of town
|
With their ringing cells and their slamming doors
|
Just me and my sandals walking moons from more
|
And life will rock you but you let it roll
|
Cause I think all this thinking's rushing me old
|
And here, the best I can do is dream of momma's casserole
|
|
Ain't nobody stepping me over
|
Ain't nobody around, these days
|
The height that's lifting me up
|
Is mostly bringing me down
|
I don't wish for a skyline
|
If it's barely feeling like home
|
Just a speck in this bowl
|
Of people to throw the very same stone
|
Rosemary taught me the way
|
La la la, la, la la la la
|
La la la, la
|
|
Rosemary taught me the way
|
To take it off and lay it down
|
And leave all the fighters on the edge of town
|
With their ringing cells and their slamming doors
|
Just me and my sandals walking moons from more
|
And life will rock you but you let it roll
|
Cause I think all this thinking's rushing me old
|
And here, the best I can do is dream of momma's casserole
|
|
Rosemary taught me the way
