Fleet Foxes - So Long To The Headstrong lyrics

rate me

This morning I received air mail letter 3 from my connection overseas.<br />

I pulled the paper back, <br />

You begin your attack and it means:<br />

<br />

Of all the places I laid down my head, <br />

I think of two I regret<br />

Love isn't easy my baby you're sayin today<br />

<br />

But tell Mr. shoemaker I'll be away<br />

On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay<br />

On a continental steam ship sailin away<br />

On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane<br />

I wanna know what you're thinkin about<br />

Don't just let me go... <br />

<br />

Four hundred days have passed since I've heard from you last<br />

I'm getting worried, I admit<br />

Maybe it's nothing much<br />

There's nicer shores in sight<br />

Oh I just don't know<br />

<br />

Of all the places I laid down my head I think of two I regret<br />

Love isn't easy my baby we'd tell you today<br />

But tell Mr. shoemaker I'll be away<br />

On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay<br />

On a continental steam ship sailin away<br />

On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane<br />

I wanna know what you're thinkin about<br />

Don't just let me go... <br />

<br />

I'm sayin so long<br />

I want my baby back<br />

I know it's hard to see<br />

Why she's in love with me<br />

I'm sayin so long<br />

I want my baby back<br />

I know it's hard to see<br />

Why she's in love with me<br />

So long to the headstrong<br />

I wasn't qualified to lead that city life<br />

That's all I have to say
