Nineteen
|
|
the sky might be gray today
|
but that won? last for long
|
I want to tear down this shrine
|
to everything that i?e done wrong
|
blackberry winter
|
oh I wish you could have seen
|
my father? gold tooth shining
|
you would be nineteen
|
|
I worry about what I look like
|
and what I sound like when I talk
|
I cast a crooked shadow
|
down this winding road I walk
|
a blanket of stars fell out
|
oh I wish you could have seen
|
the world is turning over
|
you would be nineteen
|
|
I dream about the woman
|
and her wild raven mane
|
the little lights of autumn
|
what it? come to
|
and how I?e changed
|
everything we could have been
|
and everything I?l be
|
the world is turning over
|
you would be nineteen
|
|
they say if one remembers
|
well that? all I have to give
|
thirty five decembers and
|
I?e but half my life to live
|
a blanket of stars fell out
|
oh I wish you could have seen
|
the world is turning over
|
you would be nineteen
|
