AIMEE MANN - 4th Of July lyrics

rate me

Today's the fourth of july<br>Another june has gone by<br>And when they light up our town I just think<br>What a waste of gunpowder and sky<br>I'm certain that I am alone<br>In harbouring thoughts of our home<br>It's one of my faults that I can't quell my past<br>I ought to have gotten it gone<br><br>Oh, baby, I wonder -<br>If when you are older -<br>Someday-<br>You'll wake up<br>And say, 'my god, I should have told her -<br>What would it take? <br>But now here I am and the world's gotten colder<br>And she's got the river down which I sold her.'<br><br>So that's today's memory lane<br>With all the pathos and pain<br>Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless<br>And they're always the same<br>A verse, then a verse, and refrain<br><br>Oh, baby, I wonder -<br>If when you are older -<br>Someday-<br>You'll wake up<br>And say, 'my god, I should have told her -<br>What would it take? <br>But now here I am and the world's gotten colder<br>And she's got the river down which I sold her.'
