Joe Henry - Parker's mood lyrics
rate meWhere's my sock?
Where's my other shoe?
I didn't know what time it was
When I came o.
The only light in here
Is fmy flickering TV
Watching back at me..
Oh, my love is here to stay
Saints alive
And all the saints be praised,
I see them all around me now
They've been called and raised;
Their jaws gone slack.
Their yellow nails long and curling back
To scratch the phantom of ache
Of our lost days...
Oh, my love is here to stay
I came home this morning
I was dead on my feet,
drunk on the victory
Of my own defeat.
Now, I'm reeling on the ceiling
But what yard-bird law is this,
When a heart in chains is what remains
The prelude to a kiss?
God is in the details
Of the smoke in the air,
The devil, he's a pauper prince
Nesting in your hair.
The things we put together
The world will tear apart,
But I've beat them to the start
Alone the way..
Oh, my love is here to stay
